Chemical Structure

Ethyl 6-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-(difluoromethyl)nicotinate CAS 1708208-56-3 chemical structure

Description

Ethyl 6-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-(difluoromethyl)nicotinate (CAS 1708208-56-3) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C15H12ClF2NO2 and a molecular weight of 311.71 g/mol.

Structurally, Ethyl 6-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-(difluoromethyl)nicotinate (C15H12ClF2NO2) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/chlorine substitution. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 9.0, corresponding to approximately 9 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 311.71 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-molecular-weight range. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

This reference standard is suitable for quantitative analysis on major chromatographic platforms including HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, and GC-MS, serving as an external calibration standard or a system suitability test reference material.

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
