Owing to an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 2-Fluoro-5-(hydroxymethyl)pyridine is typically off-white to pale yellow liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 127.12 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).
2-Fluoro-5-(hydroxymethyl)pyridine (CAS 39891-05-9), molecular formula C6H6FNO and molecular weight 127.12 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
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.
