Chemical Structure

2,2-Difluoroethanol CAS 359-13-7 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 2,2-Difluoroethanol is closely related to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies 2,2-Difluoroethanol (CAS 359-13-7), a certified reference material (molecular formula C2H4F2O, MW 82.05 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, 2,2-Difluoroethanol is typically white to off-white liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 82.05 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.

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

CATO manufactures 2,2-Difluoroethanol 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.
