The occurrence of 2-(4-Fluoro-3-methylbenzoyl)benzoic acid is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
CATO supplies 2-(4-Fluoro-3-methylbenzoyl)benzoic acid (CAS 321687-05-2), a certified reference material (molecular formula C15H11FO3, MW 258.24 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
2-(4-Fluoro-3-methylbenzoyl)benzoic acid (C15H11FO3) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic 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 high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.
