Chemical Structure

Dimethyl 2,2-difluoropentanedioate CAS 337-97-3 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 196.15 g/mol gives Dimethyl 2,2-difluoropentanedioate distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies Dimethyl 2,2-difluoropentanedioate (CAS 337-97-3), a certified reference material (molecular formula C7H10F2O4, MW 196.15 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, Dimethyl 2,2-difluoropentanedioate is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 196.15 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.

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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Dimethyl 2,2-difluoropentanedioate meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
