Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 178.17 g/mol gives 5-(5-Fluoro-2-methylphenyl)-2H-tetrazole distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
5-(5-Fluoro-2-methylphenyl)-2H-tetrazole (CAS 1250242-44-4) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C8H7FN4 and a molecular weight of 178.17 g/mol.
5-(5-Fluoro-2-methylphenyl)-2H-tetrazole (C8H7FN4) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, fluorine substitution. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.
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.
