Chemical Structure

Sodium 2-(4-fluorophenyl)acetate CAS 178666-56-3 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including Sodium 2-(4-fluorophenyl)acetate.

CATO supplies Sodium 2-(4-fluorophenyl)acetate (CAS 178666-56-3), a certified reference material (molecular formula C8H6FO2Na, MW 176.12 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Based on its molecular formula C8H6FO2Na, Sodium 2-(4-fluorophenyl)acetate contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 176.12 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Sodium 2-(4-fluorophenyl)acetate 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.
