Chemical Structure

Methyl 2-[4-(2-fluoro-5-methylphenyl)phenyl]acetate CAS 1820607-37-1 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.

Methyl 2-[4-(2-fluoro-5-methylphenyl)phenyl]acetate (CAS 1820607-37-1), molecular formula C16H15FO2 and molecular weight 258.29 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system, Methyl 2-[4-(2-fluoro-5-methylphenyl)phenyl]acetate is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 258.29 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

CATO manufactures Methyl 2-[4-(2-fluoro-5-methylphenyl)phenyl]acetate under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
