Chemical Structure

2-Fluoro-3-methoxy-5-methylphenol CAS 447462-92-2 chemical structure

Description

2-Fluoro-3-methoxy-5-methylphenol (CAS 447462-92-2) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C8H9FO2 and a molecular weight of 156.15 g/mol.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 2-Fluoro-3-methoxy-5-methylphenol is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 156.15 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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.

CATO manufactures 2-Fluoro-3-methoxy-5-methylphenol 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.
