Chemical Structure

Fluoromethanesulfonyl Chloride CAS 42497-69-8 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Fluoromethanesulfonyl Chloride is closely related to a sulfone group, fluorine/chlorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

Fluoromethanesulfonyl Chloride (CAS 42497-69-8) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula CH2ClFO2S and a molecular weight of 132.54 g/mol.

Owing to a sulfone group, fluorine/chlorine substitution, Fluoromethanesulfonyl Chloride is typically white to off-white liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 132.54 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.

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.

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.
