Chemical Structure

2,2-Difluoro-2-(1-hydroxycyclopentyl)acetic acid CAS 681240-10-8 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 2,2-Difluoro-2-(1-hydroxycyclopentyl)acetic acid is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

2,2-Difluoro-2-(1-hydroxycyclopentyl)acetic acid (CAS 681240-10-8), molecular formula C7H10F2O3 and molecular weight 180.15 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, 2,2-Difluoro-2-(1-hydroxycyclopentyl)acetic acid is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 180.15 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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.

CATO manufactures 2,2-Difluoro-2-(1-hydroxycyclopentyl)acetic 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.
