Chemical Structure

(3-(Fluoromethyl)phenyl)methanol CAS 96258-75-2 chemical structure

Description

(3-(Fluoromethyl)phenyl)methanol (CAS 96258-75-2), molecular formula C8H9FO and molecular weight 140.15 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, (3-(Fluoromethyl)phenyl)methanol (C8H9FO) contains a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 4.0, corresponding to approximately 4 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 140.15 g/mol, it falls into the low-molecular-weight range. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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

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.
