Chemical Structure

(3-Chloro-5-fluorophenyl)(3,4-dichlorophenyl)methanone CAS 844885-33-2 chemical structure

Description

(3-Chloro-5-fluorophenyl)(3,4-dichlorophenyl)methanone (CAS 844885-33-2) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C13H6Cl3FO and a molecular weight of 303.54 g/mol.

Owing to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, (3-Chloro-5-fluorophenyl)(3,4-dichlorophenyl)methanone is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 303.54 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).

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.
