Chemical Structure

Methyl 3,6-difluoro-2-(trifluoromethyl)benzoate CAS 2366994-08-1 chemical structure

Description

Methyl 3,6-difluoro-2-(trifluoromethyl)benzoate (CAS 2366994-08-1) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C9H5F5O2 and a molecular weight of 240.13 g/mol.

Methyl 3,6-difluoro-2-(trifluoromethyl)benzoate (C9H5F5O2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. 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. 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.

CATO manufactures Methyl 3,6-difluoro-2-(trifluoromethyl)benzoate under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
