Chemical Structure

2-(Chloromethyl)-3-fluoroanisole CAS 339586-05-9 chemical structure

Description

2-(Chloromethyl)-3-fluoroanisole (C8H8ClFO) contains a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 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.

2-(Chloromethyl)-3-fluoroanisole (CAS 339586-05-9), molecular formula C8H8ClFO and molecular weight 174.60 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

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.
