Chemical Structure

Bis(3-fluorophenyl)methanol CAS 98586-21-1 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including Bis(3-fluorophenyl)methanol.

Bis(3-fluorophenyl)methanol (CAS 98586-21-1) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C13H10F2O and a molecular weight of 220.21 g/mol.

Owing to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, Bis(3-fluorophenyl)methanol is typically pale yellow to yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 220.21 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.

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.
