Chemical Structure

2,3-Difluoro-4-(phenylmethoxy)benzyl alcohol CAS 1637386-43-6 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 250.24 g/mol gives 2,3-Difluoro-4-(phenylmethoxy)benzyl alcohol distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

2,3-Difluoro-4-(phenylmethoxy)benzyl alcohol (CAS 1637386-43-6), molecular formula C14H12F2O2 and molecular weight 250.24 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

2,3-Difluoro-4-(phenylmethoxy)benzyl alcohol (C14H12F2O2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 2,3-Difluoro-4-(phenylmethoxy)benzyl alcohol meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
