1-((2,4-Difluorophenyl)(phenyl)methyl)piperazine (CAS 518971-85-2), molecular formula C17H18F2N2 and molecular weight 288.34 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
1-((2,4-Difluorophenyl)(phenyl)methyl)piperazine (C17H18F2N2) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, fluorine substitution. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.
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.
