Chemical Structure

2-(4-Fluorophenyl)-3-methylbut-2-enoic acid CAS 170432-99-2 chemical structure

Description

Structurally, 2-(4-Fluorophenyl)-3-methylbut-2-enoic acid (C11H11FO2) 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 6.0, corresponding to approximately 6 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 194.20 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

CATO supplies 2-(4-Fluorophenyl)-3-methylbut-2-enoic acid (CAS 170432-99-2), a certified reference material (molecular formula C11H11FO2, MW 194.20 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

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.

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.
