Chemical Structure

4-(4-Fluorophenyl)-2,2-dimethylbutanoic acid CAS 1267959-70-5 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 4-(4-Fluorophenyl)-2,2-dimethylbutanoic acid is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

4-(4-Fluorophenyl)-2,2-dimethylbutanoic acid (CAS 1267959-70-5) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C12H15FO2 and a molecular weight of 210.24 g/mol.

The molecular framework of 4-(4-Fluorophenyl)-2,2-dimethylbutanoic acid (C12H15FO2) 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 its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

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.
