1,3-Dichloro-2-(trifluoromethoxy)benzene (CAS 97608-49-6) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C7H3Cl2F3O and a molecular weight of 231.00 g/mol.
Owing to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 1,3-Dichloro-2-(trifluoromethoxy)benzene is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 231.00 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).
CATO manufactures 1,3-Dichloro-2-(trifluoromethoxy)benzene 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.
