Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 230.23 g/mol gives 2'-Fluoro-3'-methylbiphenyl-3-carboxylic acid distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
2'-Fluoro-3'-methylbiphenyl-3-carboxylic acid (CAS 1215206-02-2), molecular formula C14H11FO2 and molecular weight 230.23 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, a polycyclic aromatic system, 2'-Fluoro-3'-methylbiphenyl-3-carboxylic acid is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 230.23 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).
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.
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.
