3,3-difluoro-2-methylbutanoic acid (CAS 1783699-15-9), molecular formula C5H8F2O2 and molecular weight 138.11 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
The molecular framework of 3,3-difluoro-2-methylbutanoic acid (C5H8F2O2) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the polarity and ionization state of its functional groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.
