Chemical Structure

(2S)-2-(4-Fluorophenyl)oxirane CAS 134356-74-4 chemical structure

Description

(2S)-2-(4-Fluorophenyl)oxirane (CAS 134356-74-4), molecular formula C8H7FO and molecular weight 138.14 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, (2S)-2-(4-Fluorophenyl)oxirane is typically off-white to pale yellow liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 138.14 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), (2S)-2-(4-Fluorophenyl)oxirane meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
