The occurrence of (3-Chloro-4-fluorophenyl)(4-fluorophenyl)methanol is closely related to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
CATO supplies (3-Chloro-4-fluorophenyl)(4-fluorophenyl)methanol (CAS 844683-73-4), a certified reference material (molecular formula C13H9ClF2O, MW 254.66 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
The molecular framework of (3-Chloro-4-fluorophenyl)(4-fluorophenyl)methanol (C13H9ClF2O) is characterized by a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. 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 aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).
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-fluorophenyl)(4-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.
