Chemical Structure

3-Chloro-4-fluorobenzotrifluoride CAS 78068-85-6 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 3-Chloro-4-fluorobenzotrifluoride.

3-Chloro-4-fluorobenzotrifluoride (CAS 78068-85-6), molecular formula C7H3ClF4 and molecular weight 198.55 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

3-Chloro-4-fluorobenzotrifluoride (C7H3ClF4) contains fluorine/chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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), 3-Chloro-4-fluorobenzotrifluoride 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.
