The occurrence of 2-Chloro-1,4-bis(trifluoromethyl)benzene is closely related to fluorine/chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
CATO supplies 2-Chloro-1,4-bis(trifluoromethyl)benzene (CAS 328-91-6), a certified reference material (molecular formula C8H3ClF6, MW 248.55 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
2-Chloro-1,4-bis(trifluoromethyl)benzene (C8H3ClF6) contains fluorine/chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.
