Chemical Structure

1,2,3,4,5-Pentafluoro-6-(trifluoromethoxy)benzene CAS 6161-54-2 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 1,2,3,4,5-Pentafluoro-6-(trifluoromethoxy)benzene.

CATO supplies 1,2,3,4,5-Pentafluoro-6-(trifluoromethoxy)benzene (CAS 6161-54-2), a certified reference material (molecular formula C7F8O, MW 252.06 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 1,2,3,4,5-Pentafluoro-6-(trifluoromethoxy)benzene is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 252.06 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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).

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.
