Chemical Structure

8-(2,5-Difluorophenyl)-8-oxooctanoic acid CAS 898766-40-0 chemical structure

Description

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.

8-(2,5-Difluorophenyl)-8-oxooctanoic acid (CAS 898766-40-0), molecular formula C14H16F2O3 and molecular weight 270.27 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

8-(2,5-Difluorophenyl)-8-oxooctanoic acid (C14H16F2O3) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. It is notably hygroscopic, halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
