3,5-Difluoro-4-methylbenzyl alcohol CAS 1783540-14-6 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 3,5-Difluoro-4-methylbenzyl alcohol.

3,5-Difluoro-4-methylbenzyl alcohol (CAS 1783540-14-6) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C8H8F2O and a molecular weight of 158.15 g/mol.

3,5-Difluoro-4-methylbenzyl alcohol (C8H8F2O) contains a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point; 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).

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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 3,5-Difluoro-4-methylbenzyl 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.
