Chemical Structure

4-Chloro-2-fluoro-5-methylbenzaldehyde CAS 177211-30-2 chemical structure

Description

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.

4-Chloro-2-fluoro-5-methylbenzaldehyde (CAS 177211-30-2), molecular formula C8H6ClFO and molecular weight 172.58 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 4-Chloro-2-fluoro-5-methylbenzaldehyde is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 172.58 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

As a certified reference material (CRM), 4-Chloro-2-fluoro-5-methylbenzaldehyde 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.
