Chemical Structure

Perfluoro-2-Methyl-3-Pentanone CAS 756-13-8 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Perfluoro-2-Methyl-3-Pentanone 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.

CATO supplies Perfluoro-2-Methyl-3-Pentanone (CAS 756-13-8), a certified reference material (molecular formula C6F12O, MW 316.04 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, Perfluoro-2-Methyl-3-Pentanone is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 316.04 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Perfluoro-2-Methyl-3-Pentanone 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.
