Chemical Structure

(2-Chloro-4-fluorophenyl)acetyl chloride CAS 676348-45-1 chemical structure

Description

(2-Chloro-4-fluorophenyl)acetyl chloride (CAS 676348-45-1) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C8H5Cl2FO and a molecular weight of 207.03 g/mol.

Based on its molecular formula C8H5Cl2FO, (2-Chloro-4-fluorophenyl)acetyl chloride contains a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 207.03 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

This reference standard is suitable for quantitative analysis on major chromatographic platforms including HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, and GC-MS, serving as an external calibration standard or a system suitability test reference material.

As a certified reference material (CRM), (2-Chloro-4-fluorophenyl)acetyl chloride 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.
