Chemical Structure

5-(2-Fluoro-3-methoxyphenyl)pentanoic acid CAS 1378238-85-7 chemical structure

Description

The molecular framework of 5-(2-Fluoro-3-methoxyphenyl)pentanoic acid (C12H15FO3) 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 high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

5-(2-Fluoro-3-methoxyphenyl)pentanoic acid (CAS 1378238-85-7), molecular formula C12H15FO3 and molecular weight 226.24 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

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.

CATO manufactures 5-(2-Fluoro-3-methoxyphenyl)pentanoic 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.
