Description

CATO supplies (2-Chloro-3,6-difluoro-phenyl)-methanol (2-chloro-3,6-difluorophenyl)methanol 2 - Chloro - 3,6 - difluorobenzyl alcohol 261762-44-1 benzenemethanol, 2-chloro-3,6-difluoro- (CAS 261762-44-1), a certified reference material (molecular formula C7H5ClF2O, MW 178.56 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, (2-Chloro-3,6-difluoro-phenyl)-methanol (2-chloro-3,6-difluorophenyl)methanol 2 - Chloro - 3,6 - difluorobenzyl alcohol 261762-44-1 benzenemethanol, 2-chloro-3,6-difluoro- is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 178.56 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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.
