Chemical Structure

1,1,1,3,4,4,4-Heptafluoro-3-(trifluoromethyl)butan-2-one CAS 756-12-7 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 1,1,1,3,4,4,4-Heptafluoro-3-(trifluoromethyl)butan-2-one is closely related to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

1,1,1,3,4,4,4-Heptafluoro-3-(trifluoromethyl)butan-2-one (CAS 756-12-7) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C5F10O and a molecular weight of 266.04 g/mol.

Owing to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, 1,1,1,3,4,4,4-Heptafluoro-3-(trifluoromethyl)butan-2-one is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 266.04 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.

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
