Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 198.17 g/mol gives 3-(3,4-Difluorophenyl)-2-methylacrylic acid distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
3-(3,4-Difluorophenyl)-2-methylacrylic acid (CAS 32004-55-0) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C10H8F2O2 and a molecular weight of 198.17 g/mol.
3-(3,4-Difluorophenyl)-2-methylacrylic acid (C10H8F2O2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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.
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.
