Chemical Structure

(3,5-Difluorophenyl)(m-tolyl)methanol CAS 842140-75-4 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies (3,5-Difluorophenyl)(m-tolyl)methanol (CAS 842140-75-4), a certified reference material (molecular formula C14H12F2O, MW 234.24 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Structurally, (3,5-Difluorophenyl)(m-tolyl)methanol (C14H12F2O) contains a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 8.0, corresponding to approximately 8 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 234.24 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. 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.
