Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 288.33 g/mol gives (3,4-Difluorophenyl)(4-pentylphenyl)methanone distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
(3,4-Difluorophenyl)(4-pentylphenyl)methanone (CAS 951887-65-3), molecular formula C18H18F2O and molecular weight 288.33 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
The molecular framework of (3,4-Difluorophenyl)(4-pentylphenyl)methanone (C18H18F2O) is characterized by a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution. 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.
As a certified reference material (CRM), (3,4-Difluorophenyl)(4-pentylphenyl)methanone meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
