Chemical Structure

(5-(Benzyloxy)-2-fluorophenyl)methanol CAS 459215-46-4 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including (5-(Benzyloxy)-2-fluorophenyl)methanol.

CATO supplies (5-(Benzyloxy)-2-fluorophenyl)methanol (CAS 459215-46-4), a certified reference material (molecular formula C14H13FO2, MW 232.25 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system, (5-(Benzyloxy)-2-fluorophenyl)methanol is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 232.25 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.

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.
