Chemical Structure

4-(3-Fluorobenzyl)benzoic acid CAS 1258540-14-5 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 230.23 g/mol gives 4-(3-Fluorobenzyl)benzoic acid distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies 4-(3-Fluorobenzyl)benzoic acid (CAS 1258540-14-5), a certified reference material (molecular formula C14H11FO2, MW 230.23 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Based on its molecular formula C14H11FO2, 4-(3-Fluorobenzyl)benzoic acid contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 230.23 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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.
