Chemical Structure

4-Fluoro-4'-hydroxybenzophenone CAS 25913-05-7 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 4-Fluoro-4'-hydroxybenzophenone is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

4-Fluoro-4'-hydroxybenzophenone (CAS 25913-05-7) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C13H9FO2 and a molecular weight of 216.21 g/mol.

Structurally, 4-Fluoro-4'-hydroxybenzophenone (C13H9FO2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 9.0, corresponding to approximately 9 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 216.21 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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.
