Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 134.15 g/mol gives (R)-2-Fluoro-4-methylpentanoic acid distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
CATO supplies (R)-2-Fluoro-4-methylpentanoic acid (CAS 146746-27-2), a certified reference material (molecular formula C6H11FO2, MW 134.15 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
The molecular framework of (R)-2-Fluoro-4-methylpentanoic acid (C6H11FO2) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution. 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. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.
Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
As a certified reference material (CRM), (R)-2-Fluoro-4-methylpentanoic acid 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.
