Chemical Structure
Description
Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 140.15 g/mol gives 2-Fluoro-4-methylbenzyl alcohol distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
CATO supplies 2-Fluoro-4-methylbenzyl alcohol (CAS 252004-38-9), a certified reference material (molecular formula C8H9FO, MW 140.15 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
Owing to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 2-Fluoro-4-methylbenzyl alcohol is typically off-white to pale yellow liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 140.15 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).
Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
As a certified reference material (CRM), 2-Fluoro-4-methylbenzyl 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.
