Chemical Structure

4-Fluorophenetole CAS 459-26-7 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies 4-Fluorophenetole (CAS 459-26-7), a certified reference material (molecular formula C8H9FO, MW 140.15 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 4-Fluorophenetole is typically off-white to pale yellow liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 140.15 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).

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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 4-Fluorophenetole meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
