Chemical Structure

(3,4-Difluorophenyl)(3-fluorophenyl)methanol CAS 844683-65-4 chemical structure

Description

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.

(3,4-Difluorophenyl)(3-fluorophenyl)methanol (CAS 844683-65-4), molecular formula C13H9F3O and molecular weight 238.21 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, (3,4-Difluorophenyl)(3-fluorophenyl)methanol (C13H9F3O) contains a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring 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 238.21 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

As a certified reference material (CRM), (3,4-Difluorophenyl)(3-fluorophenyl)methanol 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.
