Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 1-(4-(2-Chloro-4-fluorophenoxy)phenyl)ethan-1-ol.
CATO supplies 1-(4-(2-Chloro-4-fluorophenoxy)phenyl)ethan-1-ol (CAS 1178039-67-2), a certified reference material (molecular formula C14H12ClFO2, MW 266.70 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/chlorine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system, 1-(4-(2-Chloro-4-fluorophenoxy)phenyl)ethan-1-ol is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 266.70 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.
