Chemical Structure

2,6-Difluoro-4-hydroxybenzoic Acid CAS 214917-68-7 chemical structure

Description

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.

2,6-Difluoro-4-hydroxybenzoic Acid (CAS 214917-68-7) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C7H4F2O3 and a molecular weight of 174.10 g/mol.

The molecular framework of 2,6-Difluoro-4-hydroxybenzoic Acid (C7H4F2O3) 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).

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.
