Chemical Structure

Ethyl 2-(4-Biphenylyl)-2,2-difluoroacetate CAS 73789-98-7 chemical structure

Description

As a certified reference material (CRM), Ethyl 2-(4-Biphenylyl)-2,2-difluoroacetate 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.

CATO supplies Ethyl 2-(4-Biphenylyl)-2,2-difluoroacetate (CAS 73789-98-7), a certified reference material (molecular formula C16H14F2O2, MW 276.28 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system, Ethyl 2-(4-Biphenylyl)-2,2-difluoroacetate is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 276.28 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

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.
