Chemical Structure

1-(4-(1,1-Difluoroethyl)phenyl)ethanol CAS 1780591-16-3 chemical structure

Description

1-(4-(1,1-Difluoroethyl)phenyl)ethanol (CAS 1780591-16-3), molecular formula C10H12F2O and molecular weight 186.20 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 1-(4-(1,1-Difluoroethyl)phenyl)ethanol is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 186.20 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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

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.
