Chemical Structure

5,5,6,6,6-Pentafluorohexane-2,4-dione CAS 356-40-1 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 204.09 g/mol gives 5,5,6,6,6-Pentafluorohexane-2,4-dione distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

5,5,6,6,6-Pentafluorohexane-2,4-dione (CAS 356-40-1), molecular formula C6H5F5O2 and molecular weight 204.09 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

5,5,6,6,6-Pentafluorohexane-2,4-dione (C6H5F5O2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; 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.

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.

CATO manufactures 5,5,6,6,6-Pentafluorohexane-2,4-dione 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.
