Chemical Structure

2-(Difluoromethyl)oxirane CAS 503-10-6 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 2-(Difluoromethyl)oxirane is closely related to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

2-(Difluoromethyl)oxirane (CAS 503-10-6) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C3H4F2O and a molecular weight of 94.06 g/mol.

2-(Difluoromethyl)oxirane (C3H4F2O) contains a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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.
