Chemical Structure

5-(3-Fluorophenyl)nicotinic Acid CAS 181705-88-4 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 5-(3-Fluorophenyl)nicotinic Acid is closely related to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

5-(3-Fluorophenyl)nicotinic Acid (CAS 181705-88-4), molecular formula C12H8FNO2 and molecular weight 217.20 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Based on its molecular formula C12H8FNO2, 5-(3-Fluorophenyl)nicotinic Acid contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 217.20 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 5-(3-Fluorophenyl)nicotinic Acid 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.
