Chemical Structure

2,6-Difluoro-4-methoxybenzoic Acid CAS 123843-65-2 chemical structure

Description

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

2,6-Difluoro-4-methoxybenzoic Acid (CAS 123843-65-2), molecular formula C8H6F2O3 and molecular weight 188.13 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of 2,6-Difluoro-4-methoxybenzoic Acid (C8H6F2O3) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the polarity and ionization state of its functional groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

CATO manufactures 2,6-Difluoro-4-methoxybenzoic Acid under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
