Chemical Structure

2-(perfluorophenyl)acetaldehyde CAS 28520-18-5 chemical structure

Description

2-(perfluorophenyl)acetaldehyde (CAS 28520-18-5) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C8H3F5O and a molecular weight of 210.10 g/mol.

Owing to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 2-(perfluorophenyl)acetaldehyde is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 210.10 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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 2-(perfluorophenyl)acetaldehyde 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.
