Chemical Structure

2,2-Difluoro-2-(4-fluorophenoxy)acetic acid CAS 338792-64-6 chemical structure

Description

The molecular framework of 2,2-Difluoro-2-(4-fluorophenoxy)acetic acid (C8H5F3O3) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine 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. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

2,2-Difluoro-2-(4-fluorophenoxy)acetic acid (CAS 338792-64-6) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C8H5F3O3 and a molecular weight of 206.12 g/mol.

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.
