Methyl 2-fluoro-6-iodobenzoate (CAS 146014-66-6) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C8H6FIO2 and a molecular weight of 280.03 g/mol.
Based on its molecular formula C8H6FIO2, Methyl 2-fluoro-6-iodobenzoate contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/iodine substitution, an aromatic ring system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 280.03 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.
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.
