Chemical Structure

Tefluthrin CAS 79538-32-2 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Tefluthrin is closely related to a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/chlorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

Tefluthrin (CAS 79538-32-2) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C17H14ClF7O2 and a molecular weight of 418.73 g/mol.

The molecular framework of Tefluthrin (C17H14ClF7O2) is characterized by a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/chlorine substitution. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Tefluthrin 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.
