Chemical Structure

1-(4-Fluorophenyl)biguanide, HCl CAS 16018-83-0 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 1-(4-Fluorophenyl)biguanide, HCl is closely related to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, fluorine/chlorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies 1-(4-Fluorophenyl)biguanide, HCl (CAS 16018-83-0), a certified reference material (molecular formula C8H10FN5HCl, MW 231.66 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

1-(4-Fluorophenyl)biguanide, HCl (C8H10FN5HCl) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, fluorine/chlorine substitution. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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.

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.
