Chemical Structure

Butyl 2-fluoroacetate CAS 371-49-3 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 134.15 g/mol gives Butyl 2-fluoroacetate distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

Butyl 2-fluoroacetate (CAS 371-49-3), molecular formula C6H11FO2 and molecular weight 134.15 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Based on its molecular formula C6H11FO2, Butyl 2-fluoroacetate contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution; these features give the compound characteristic functional-group stretching vibrations in infrared spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 134.15 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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 Butyl 2-fluoroacetate 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.
