Chemical Structure

5-Fluoro-1,2-dihydroacenaphthylene CAS 6861-63-8 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 5-Fluoro-1,2-dihydroacenaphthylene is closely related to fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies 5-Fluoro-1,2-dihydroacenaphthylene (CAS 6861-63-8), a certified reference material (molecular formula C12H9F, MW 172.20 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 5-Fluoro-1,2-dihydroacenaphthylene is typically pale yellow to yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 172.20 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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 5-Fluoro-1,2-dihydroacenaphthylene 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.
