Chemical Structure

2-Fluoro-4-(3-methoxyphenyl)benzoic acid CAS 1178418-69-3 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-Fluoro-4-(3-methoxyphenyl)benzoic acid (CAS 1178418-69-3) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C14H11FO3 and a molecular weight of 246.23 g/mol.

2-Fluoro-4-(3-methoxyphenyl)benzoic acid (C14H11FO3) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system. It is notably hygroscopic, 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. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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