Chemical Structure

2-benzyl-4-fluorophenol CAS 398-77-6 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies 2-benzyl-4-fluorophenol (CAS 398-77-6), a certified reference material (molecular formula C13H11FO, MW 202.22 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Based on its molecular formula C13H11FO, 2-benzyl-4-fluorophenol contains a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 202.22 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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.
