Chemical Structure

ethyl 2-[2,6-difluoro-4-(hydroxymethyl)phenoxy]propanoate CAS 1502447-39-3 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of ethyl 2-[2,6-difluoro-4-(hydroxymethyl)phenoxy]propanoate 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.

CATO supplies ethyl 2-[2,6-difluoro-4-(hydroxymethyl)phenoxy]propanoate (CAS 1502447-39-3), a certified reference material (molecular formula C12H14F2O4, MW 260.23 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Structurally, ethyl 2-[2,6-difluoro-4-(hydroxymethyl)phenoxy]propanoate (C12H14F2O4) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 5.0, corresponding to approximately 5 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 260.23 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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 ethyl 2-[2,6-difluoro-4-(hydroxymethyl)phenoxy]propanoate 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.
