Description
4-(Difluoromethyl)benzyl alcohol is an aromatic primary alcohol offered at min. 95 % purity, with CAS number 444915-77-9 and empirical formula C₈H₈F₂O. The molar mass of 158,15 g/mol reflects a benzyl scaffold bearing a para-difluoromethyl substituent, a motif valued in medicinal chemistry for polarity tuning and metabolic stability studies. Discovery chemists and process scouts can use it for fragment elaboration, intermediate preparation and structure–property exploration. This fine chemical is available from manufacturer Carl ROTH for laboratory research in organic synthesis and biochemical applications. Defined CAS registration and molecular formula support inventory control, analytical verification and reproducible documentation. Store and handle according to standard practice for fluorinated benzyl alcohols intended for research use only.

Questions about 4-(Difluoromethyl)benzyl alcohol, min. 95 %, 25 mg
What is this article?
4-(Difluoromethyl)benzyl alcohol, min. 95 %, 25 mg is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Photometers & spectrophotometers, inside Spectroscopy & photometry, in Lab instruments.
A photometer reads absorbance at one or a few wavelengths. A spectrophotometer scans or selects many. Both send light through a cuvette or a well. The wavelength range, UV or visible, and the bandwidth decide what can be measured. A visible-only instrument cannot read a nucleic acid at 260 nm.
A photometer or spectrophotometer sends light through a sample and reads how much was absorbed. In the range where the Beer–Lambert relation holds, absorbance tracks concentration. A refractometer reads how a liquid bends light, which tracks dissolved solids. A polarimeter reads the rotation of polarised light, the classical measurement for sugars. The lamp, the wavelength and the cuvette path length are the three things that have to be right before the number means anything. The optical quantities trace to NIST and the BIPM.
Which category should I open next?
The category is Spectroscopy & photometry. The sub-category is Photometers & spectrophotometers. The catalogue is Lab instruments.
Shelves beside this one are Refractometers & polarimeters and Lamps, cuvette holders & accessories.
What should I check before I order?
When this page shows a safety data sheet, use that manufacturer file. Hazard text does not belong in the sales description. For a pack size, a grade or a certificate that is not on the page, send a quote request or contact the team.
