Chemical Structure

Benzyl 3-chloro-4-(difluoromethoxy)benzoate CAS 2364584-74-5 chemical structure

Description

The molecular framework of Benzyl 3-chloro-4-(difluoromethoxy)benzoate (C15H11ClF2O3) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/chlorine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

Benzyl 3-chloro-4-(difluoromethoxy)benzoate (CAS 2364584-74-5) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C15H11ClF2O3 and a molecular weight of 312.70 g/mol.

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.

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.
