Chemical Structure
Description
The occurrence of 2-Chloro-5-trifluoromethylbenzyl alcohol is closely related to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
CATO supplies 2-Chloro-5-trifluoromethylbenzyl alcohol (CAS 64372-62-9), a certified reference material (molecular formula C8H6ClF3O, MW 210.58 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
The molecular framework of 2-Chloro-5-trifluoromethylbenzyl alcohol (C8H6ClF3O) is characterized by a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the polarity and ionization state of its functional groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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.
As a certified reference material (CRM), 2-Chloro-5-trifluoromethylbenzyl alcohol meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
