Chemical Structure

2-Chloro-5-fluoro-3-(trifluoromethyl)-benzaldehyde CAS 95445-69-5 chemical structure

Description

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.

2-Chloro-5-fluoro-3-(trifluoromethyl)-benzaldehyde (CAS 95445-69-5), molecular formula C8H3ClF4O and molecular weight 226.56 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 2-Chloro-5-fluoro-3-(trifluoromethyl)-benzaldehyde is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 226.56 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 2-Chloro-5-fluoro-3-(trifluoromethyl)-benzaldehyde 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.
