Methyl 4-((2-chloro-4-fluorobenzyl)oxy)-3-ethoxybenzoate CAS 1706450-37-4 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.

Methyl 4-((2-chloro-4-fluorobenzyl)oxy)-3-ethoxybenzoate (CAS 1706450-37-4), molecular formula C17H16ClFO4 and molecular weight 338.76 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of Methyl 4-((2-chloro-4-fluorobenzyl)oxy)-3-ethoxybenzoate (C17H16ClFO4) is characterized by a flavonoid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/chlorine substitution. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

As a certified reference material (CRM), Methyl 4-((2-chloro-4-fluorobenzyl)oxy)-3-ethoxybenzoate 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.
