Chemical Structure

2-(1,1,1,3,3,3-Hexafluoro-2-hydroxypropan-2-yl)phenol CAS 836-78-2 chemical structure

Description

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 2-(1,1,1,3,3,3-Hexafluoro-2-hydroxypropan-2-yl)phenol is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 260.13 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).

2-(1,1,1,3,3,3-Hexafluoro-2-hydroxypropan-2-yl)phenol (CAS 836-78-2) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C9H6F6O2 and a molecular weight of 260.13 g/mol.

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), 2-(1,1,1,3,3,3-Hexafluoro-2-hydroxypropan-2-yl)phenol 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.
