Chemical Structure

5,5-Difluorohexanoic acid CAS 372-67-8 chemical structure

Description

As a certified reference material (CRM), 5,5-Difluorohexanoic acid 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.

CATO supplies 5,5-Difluorohexanoic acid (CAS 372-67-8), a certified reference material (molecular formula C6H10F2O2, MW 152.14 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Based on its molecular formula C6H10F2O2, 5,5-Difluorohexanoic acid contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution; these features give the compound characteristic functional-group stretching vibrations in infrared spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 152.14 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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.
