Chemical Structure

3-Fluoro-4-nitroanisole CAS 446-38-8 chemical structure

Description

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

CATO supplies 3-Fluoro-4-nitroanisole (CAS 446-38-8), a certified reference material (molecular formula C7H6FNO3, MW 171.13 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

The molecular framework of 3-Fluoro-4-nitroanisole (C7H6FNO3) is characterized by an amide group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the protonation state of its nitrogen-containing groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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.
