Chemical Structure

Methyl 2-(4-fluoro-3-methoxyphenyl)benzoate CAS 1820607-61-1 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Methyl 2-(4-fluoro-3-methoxyphenyl)benzoate is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

Methyl 2-(4-fluoro-3-methoxyphenyl)benzoate (CAS 1820607-61-1) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C15H13FO3 and a molecular weight of 260.26 g/mol.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system, Methyl 2-(4-fluoro-3-methoxyphenyl)benzoate is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 260.26 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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).

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

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.
