Chemical Structure

Ethyl 3,5-difluoro-4-methylbenzoate CAS 1806321-00-5 chemical structure

Description

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

Ethyl 3,5-difluoro-4-methylbenzoate (CAS 1806321-00-5) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C10H10F2O2 and a molecular weight of 200.18 g/mol.

The molecular framework of Ethyl 3,5-difluoro-4-methylbenzoate (C10H10F2O2) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Ethyl 3,5-difluoro-4-methylbenzoate 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.
