Chemical Structure

Methyl 2-(perfluorophenyl)acetate CAS 145682-85-5 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Methyl 2-(perfluorophenyl)acetate 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.

Methyl 2-(perfluorophenyl)acetate (CAS 145682-85-5) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C9H5F5O2 and a molecular weight of 240.13 g/mol.

The molecular framework of Methyl 2-(perfluorophenyl)acetate (C9H5F5O2) 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 the polarity and ionization state of its functional groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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.

CATO manufactures Methyl 2-(perfluorophenyl)acetate 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.
