Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 142.13 g/mol gives 2-Fluoro-3-methoxyphenol distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
CATO supplies 2-Fluoro-3-methoxyphenol (CAS 447462-87-5), a certified reference material (molecular formula C7H7FO2, MW 142.13 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
2-Fluoro-3-methoxyphenol (C7H7FO2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, 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.
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.
