Chemical Structure

Ethyl 3-fluoro-4-methoxybenzoate CAS 170645-87-1 chemical structure

Description

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

Ethyl 3-fluoro-4-methoxybenzoate (CAS 170645-87-1), molecular formula C10H11FO3 and molecular weight 198.19 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, Ethyl 3-fluoro-4-methoxybenzoate (C10H11FO3) 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 198.19 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Ethyl 3-fluoro-4-methoxybenzoate 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.
