The occurrence of 3-Chloro-4-fluoro-5-methylaniline is closely related to a nitrile group, fluorine/chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
3-Chloro-4-fluoro-5-methylaniline (CAS 187929-77-7) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C7H7ClFN and a molecular weight of 159.59 g/mol.
Owing to a nitrile group, fluorine/chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 3-Chloro-4-fluoro-5-methylaniline is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 159.59 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.
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-Chloro-4-fluoro-5-methylaniline 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.
