Chemical Structure

Ethyl 2,2-difluoro-2-(m-tolyl)acetate CAS 698379-26-9 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 214.21 g/mol gives Ethyl 2,2-difluoro-2-(m-tolyl)acetate distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

Ethyl 2,2-difluoro-2-(m-tolyl)acetate (CAS 698379-26-9) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C11H12F2O2 and a molecular weight of 214.21 g/mol.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, Ethyl 2,2-difluoro-2-(m-tolyl)acetate is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 214.21 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.

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 2,2-difluoro-2-(m-tolyl)acetate 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.
