Chemical Structure

2-(4-(Tert-butyl)phenyl)-2-fluoroacetic acid CAS 1020533-75-8 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 2-(4-(Tert-butyl)phenyl)-2-fluoroacetic acid is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

2-(4-(Tert-butyl)phenyl)-2-fluoroacetic acid (CAS 1020533-75-8), molecular formula C12H15FO2 and molecular weight 210.24 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 2-(4-(Tert-butyl)phenyl)-2-fluoroacetic acid is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 210.24 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

This reference standard is suitable for quantitative analysis on major chromatographic platforms including HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, and GC-MS, serving as an external calibration standard or a system suitability test reference material.

CATO manufactures 2-(4-(Tert-butyl)phenyl)-2-fluoroacetic acid 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.
