Chemical Structure

methyl 2,4-bis(difluoromethoxy)benzoate CAS 97914-57-3 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies methyl 2,4-bis(difluoromethoxy)benzoate (CAS 97914-57-3), a certified reference material (molecular formula C10H8F4O4, MW 268.16 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, methyl 2,4-bis(difluoromethoxy)benzoate is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 268.16 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).

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

CATO manufactures methyl 2,4-bis(difluoromethoxy)benzoate 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.
