1-(Chloromethyl)-4-(difluoromethoxy)benzene (CAS 41772-09-2) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C8H7ClF2O and a molecular weight of 192.59 g/mol.
Owing to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 1-(Chloromethyl)-4-(difluoromethoxy)benzene is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 192.59 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).
