The occurrence of Methyl 2-(benzo[d][1,3]dioxol-5-yl)-4-(4-fluorophenyl)-4-oxobutanoate is closely related to a flavonoid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
Methyl 2-(benzo[d][1,3]dioxol-5-yl)-4-(4-fluorophenyl)-4-oxobutanoate (CAS 329701-58-8), molecular formula C18H15FO5 and molecular weight 330.31 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Methyl 2-(benzo[d][1,3]dioxol-5-yl)-4-(4-fluorophenyl)-4-oxobutanoate (C18H15FO5) contains a flavonoid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, 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).
This reference standard is suitable for quantitative analysis on major chromatographic platforms including HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, and GC-MS, serving as an external calibration standard or a system suitability test reference material.
CATO manufactures Methyl 2-(benzo[d][1,3]dioxol-5-yl)-4-(4-fluorophenyl)-4-oxobutanoate under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
