Chemical Structure

2-Chloro-5-iodobenzotrifluoride CAS 260355-20-2 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 2-Chloro-5-iodobenzotrifluoride is closely related to fluorine/chlorine/iodine substitution, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies 2-Chloro-5-iodobenzotrifluoride (CAS 260355-20-2), a certified reference material (molecular formula C7H3ClF3I, MW 306.45 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

The molecular framework of 2-Chloro-5-iodobenzotrifluoride (C7H3ClF3I) is characterized by fluorine/chlorine/iodine substitution, an aromatic ring system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the polarity and ionization state of its functional groups, 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).

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.
