CATO supplies 4-(Difluoromethoxy)-1,1,1,2,3,3-hexafluorobutane (CAS 69948-46-5), a certified reference material (molecular formula C5H4F8O, MW 232.07 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
Owing to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, 4-(Difluoromethoxy)-1,1,1,2,3,3-hexafluorobutane is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 232.07 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.
As a certified reference material (CRM), 4-(Difluoromethoxy)-1,1,1,2,3,3-hexafluorobutane 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.
