The occurrence of 6,6,7,7,8,8,8-Heptafluoro-2,2-dimethyloctane-3,5-dione is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
6,6,7,7,8,8,8-Heptafluoro-2,2-dimethyloctane-3,5-dione (CAS 17587-22-3) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C10H11F7O2 and a molecular weight of 296.18 g/mol.
6,6,7,7,8,8,8-Heptafluoro-2,2-dimethyloctane-3,5-dione (C10H11F7O2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution. 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 high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.
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.
