2,6-Difluoro-3-hydroxybenzamide (CAS 951122-37-5), molecular formula C7H5F2NO2 and molecular weight 173.12 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
2,6-Difluoro-3-hydroxybenzamide (C7H5F2NO2) contains an amide group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.
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.
CATO manufactures 2,6-Difluoro-3-hydroxybenzamide under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
