Chemical Structure

Methyl 3-(difluoromethoxy)-4-iodobenzoate CAS 2138515-41-8 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Methyl 3-(difluoromethoxy)-4-iodobenzoate is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/iodine substitution, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

Methyl 3-(difluoromethoxy)-4-iodobenzoate (CAS 2138515-41-8) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C9H7F2IO3 and a molecular weight of 328.05 g/mol.

Methyl 3-(difluoromethoxy)-4-iodobenzoate (C9H7F2IO3) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/iodine substitution, an aromatic ring system. It is notably hygroscopic, 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. 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), Methyl 3-(difluoromethoxy)-4-iodobenzoate 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.
