Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 184.16 g/mol gives 5-Ethoxy-2-fluorobenzoic acid distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
CATO supplies 5-Ethoxy-2-fluorobenzoic acid (CAS 1936598-64-9), a certified reference material (molecular formula C9H9FO3, MW 184.16 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
Based on its molecular formula C9H9FO3, 5-Ethoxy-2-fluorobenzoic acid contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 184.16 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).
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.
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.
