CATO supplies 5-Fluoro-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxane-4,6-dione (CAS 187837-96-3), a certified reference material (molecular formula C6H7FO4, MW 162.12 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
The molecular framework of 5-Fluoro-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxane-4,6-dione (C6H7FO4) 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. 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).
As a certified reference material (CRM), 5-Fluoro-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxane-4,6-dione 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.
