Chemical Structure

Ethyl 4-(difluoromethyl)benzoate CAS 64747-71-3 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Ethyl 4-(difluoromethyl)benzoate is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies Ethyl 4-(difluoromethyl)benzoate (CAS 64747-71-3), a certified reference material (molecular formula C10H10F2O2, MW 200.18 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Structurally, Ethyl 4-(difluoromethyl)benzoate (C10H10F2O2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 5.0, corresponding to approximately 5 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 200.18 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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), Ethyl 4-(difluoromethyl)benzoate 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.
