2-Chloro-6-fluoro-3,4-bis((4-methoxybenzyl)oxy)benzoic acid (CAS 2637445-13-5), molecular formula C23H20ClFO6 and molecular weight 446.85 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Owing to a flavonoid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/chlorine substitution, 2-Chloro-6-fluoro-3,4-bis((4-methoxybenzyl)oxy)benzoic acid is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 446.85 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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).
As a certified reference material (CRM), 2-Chloro-6-fluoro-3,4-bis((4-methoxybenzyl)oxy)benzoic acid 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.
