Chemical Structure

2-Bromo-4-(difluoromethyl)-1-(trifluoromethoxy)benzene CAS 2166881-48-5 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 2-Bromo-4-(difluoromethyl)-1-(trifluoromethoxy)benzene is closely related to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies 2-Bromo-4-(difluoromethyl)-1-(trifluoromethoxy)benzene (CAS 2166881-48-5), a certified reference material (molecular formula C8H4BrF5O, MW 291.01 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 2-Bromo-4-(difluoromethyl)-1-(trifluoromethoxy)benzene is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 291.01 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
