4 - Fluoro - 3 - methylbenzoyl chloride 4-Fluoro-3-methyl-benzoyl chloride 4-fluoro-m-toluoyl chloride 455-84-5 benzoyl chloride, 4-fluoro-3-methyl- (CAS 455-84-5), molecular formula C8H6ClFO and molecular weight 172.58 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Structurally, 4 - Fluoro - 3 - methylbenzoyl chloride 4-Fluoro-3-methyl-benzoyl chloride 4-fluoro-m-toluoyl chloride 455-84-5 benzoyl chloride, 4-fluoro-3-methyl- (C8H6ClFO) contains a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 5.0, corresponding to approximately 5 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 172.58 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. 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.
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.
