(2,6-Difluorophenyl)(phenyl)methanone (CAS 59189-51-4) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C13H8F2O and a molecular weight of 218.20 g/mol.
Based on its molecular formula C13H8F2O, (2,6-Difluorophenyl)(phenyl)methanone contains a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 218.20 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).
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.
