Chemical Structure

4-Benzyloxy-5-fluoro-3-methoxybenzyl alcohol CAS 2056110-49-5 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 4-Benzyloxy-5-fluoro-3-methoxybenzyl alcohol 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.

4-Benzyloxy-5-fluoro-3-methoxybenzyl alcohol (CAS 2056110-49-5), molecular formula C15H15FO3 and molecular weight 262.28 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system, 4-Benzyloxy-5-fluoro-3-methoxybenzyl alcohol is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 262.28 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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), 4-Benzyloxy-5-fluoro-3-methoxybenzyl alcohol 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.
