Chemical Structure

Methyl 3-(3-acetylphenyl)-4-fluorobenzoate CAS 1820641-53-9 chemical structure

Description

Methyl 3-(3-acetylphenyl)-4-fluorobenzoate (CAS 1820641-53-9), molecular formula C16H13FO3 and molecular weight 272.27 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of Methyl 3-(3-acetylphenyl)-4-fluorobenzoate (C16H13FO3) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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.
