Chemical Structure

Methyl 3-fluoro-4-(4-fluorophenyl)benzoate CAS 406235-78-7 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 248.22 g/mol gives Methyl 3-fluoro-4-(4-fluorophenyl)benzoate distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies Methyl 3-fluoro-4-(4-fluorophenyl)benzoate (CAS 406235-78-7), a certified reference material (molecular formula C14H10F2O2, MW 248.22 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Methyl 3-fluoro-4-(4-fluorophenyl)benzoate (C14H10F2O2) 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. 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 Methyl 3-fluoro-4-(4-fluorophenyl)benzoate 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.
