Chemical Structure

1-(3,5-Difluoro-4-hydroxyphenyl)propan-1-one CAS 178374-78-2 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 186.16 g/mol gives 1-(3,5-Difluoro-4-hydroxyphenyl)propan-1-one distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies 1-(3,5-Difluoro-4-hydroxyphenyl)propan-1-one (CAS 178374-78-2), a certified reference material (molecular formula C9H8F2O2, MW 186.16 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

1-(3,5-Difluoro-4-hydroxyphenyl)propan-1-one (C9H8F2O2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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).

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

As a certified reference material (CRM), 1-(3,5-Difluoro-4-hydroxyphenyl)propan-1-one 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.
