Chemical Structure

2,3-Difluoro-6-hydroxybenzonitrile CAS 221202-36-4 chemical structure

Description

2,3-Difluoro-6-hydroxybenzonitrile (CAS 221202-36-4), molecular formula C7H3F2NO and molecular weight 155.10 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of 2,3-Difluoro-6-hydroxybenzonitrile (C7H3F2NO) is characterized by an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the protonation state of its nitrogen-containing groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

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.
