Chemical Structure

methyl 2-fluoro-6-nitro-benzoate CAS 212189-78-1 chemical structure

Description

The molecular framework of methyl 2-fluoro-6-nitro-benzoate (C8H12FNO4) is characterized by an amide group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the protonation state of its nitrogen-containing groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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).

methyl 2-fluoro-6-nitro-benzoate (CAS 212189-78-1), molecular formula C8H12FNO4 and molecular weight 205.18 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

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.
