4-(5-Fluoro-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran-7-yl)-4-methyl-2-(trifluoromethyl)pentane-1,2-diol CAS 887375-37-3 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 4-(5-Fluoro-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran-7-yl)-4-methyl-2-(trifluoromethyl)pentane-1,2-diol is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

4-(5-Fluoro-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran-7-yl)-4-methyl-2-(trifluoromethyl)pentane-1,2-diol (CAS 887375-37-3), molecular formula C15H18F4O3 and molecular weight 322.30 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 4-(5-Fluoro-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran-7-yl)-4-methyl-2-(trifluoromethyl)pentane-1,2-diol is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 322.30 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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.
