3-Fluorobenzyl chloride CAS 456-42-8 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 3-Fluorobenzyl chloride.

3-Fluorobenzyl chloride (CAS 456-42-8), molecular formula C7H6ClF and molecular weight 144.57 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to fluorine/chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 3-Fluorobenzyl chloride is typically off-white to pale yellow liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 144.57 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.

CATO manufactures 3-Fluorobenzyl chloride 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.
