Chemical Structure

2-(2,2,3,3-Tetrafluoropropoxy)ethan-1-ol CAS 50997-68-7 chemical structure

Description

2-(2,2,3,3-Tetrafluoropropoxy)ethan-1-ol (C5H8F4O2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; 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.

2-(2,2,3,3-Tetrafluoropropoxy)ethan-1-ol (CAS 50997-68-7), molecular formula C5H8F4O2 and molecular weight 176.11 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
