Chemical Structure

Methyl 2-fluoro-4-(3-fluoro-4-methylphenyl)benzoate CAS 1820674-31-4 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Methyl 2-fluoro-4-(3-fluoro-4-methylphenyl)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.

CATO supplies Methyl 2-fluoro-4-(3-fluoro-4-methylphenyl)benzoate (CAS 1820674-31-4), a certified reference material (molecular formula C15H12F2O2, MW 262.25 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Structurally, Methyl 2-fluoro-4-(3-fluoro-4-methylphenyl)benzoate (C15H12F2O2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 9.0, corresponding to approximately 9 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 262.25 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. 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).

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), Methyl 2-fluoro-4-(3-fluoro-4-methylphenyl)benzoate 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.
