Chemical Structure

2-(4-(4-Fluorophenoxy)phenyl)ethanol CAS 1159979-12-0 chemical structure

Description

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.

2-(4-(4-Fluorophenoxy)phenyl)ethanol (CAS 1159979-12-0), molecular formula C14H13FO2 and molecular weight 232.25 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

2-(4-(4-Fluorophenoxy)phenyl)ethanol (C14H13FO2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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