Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 444.24 g/mol gives Ethyl 3-ethoxy-4-((2-fluorobenzyl)oxy)-5-iodobenzoate distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
CATO supplies Ethyl 3-ethoxy-4-((2-fluorobenzyl)oxy)-5-iodobenzoate (CAS 1706450-58-9), a certified reference material (molecular formula C18H18FIO4, MW 444.24 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
Based on its molecular formula C18H18FIO4, Ethyl 3-ethoxy-4-((2-fluorobenzyl)oxy)-5-iodobenzoate contains a flavonoid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/iodine substitution; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 444.24 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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.
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.
