Chemical Structure

(3-Chloro-5-fluorophenyl)(cyclopentyl)methanone CAS 898791-72-5 chemical structure

Description

(3-Chloro-5-fluorophenyl)(cyclopentyl)methanone (CAS 898791-72-5), molecular formula C12H12ClFO and molecular weight 226.67 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of (3-Chloro-5-fluorophenyl)(cyclopentyl)methanone (C12H12ClFO) 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. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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.
