Chemical Structure

5-Chlorooctafluoropentanoic acid CAS 66443-79-6 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 5-Chlorooctafluoropentanoic acid is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/chlorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

5-Chlorooctafluoropentanoic acid (CAS 66443-79-6), molecular formula C5HClF8O2 and molecular weight 280.50 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

5-Chlorooctafluoropentanoic acid (C5HClF8O2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/chlorine substitution. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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.

CATO manufactures 5-Chlorooctafluoropentanoic acid under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
