Chemical Structure

(Z)-2-fluoro-3-phenylacrylic acid CAS 20397-61-9 chemical structure

Description

The molecular framework of (Z)-2-fluoro-3-phenylacrylic acid (C9H7FO2) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the polarity and ionization state of its functional groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

(Z)-2-fluoro-3-phenylacrylic acid (CAS 20397-61-9) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C9H7FO2 and a molecular weight of 166.15 g/mol.

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.
