Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 198.15 g/mol gives 2-(Carboxymethyl)-3-fluorobenzoic acid distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
2-(Carboxymethyl)-3-fluorobenzoic acid (CAS 1059623-72-1) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C9H7FO4 and a molecular weight of 198.15 g/mol.
Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 2-(Carboxymethyl)-3-fluorobenzoic acid is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 198.15 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).
