Chemical Structure

2-fluoroethyl methanesulfonate CAS 461-31-4 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 2-fluoroethyl methanesulfonate.

CATO supplies 2-fluoroethyl methanesulfonate (CAS 461-31-4), a certified reference material (molecular formula C3H7FO3S, MW 142.15 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

2-fluoroethyl methanesulfonate (C3H7FO3S) contains a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution. It is notably hygroscopic, 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.

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), 2-fluoroethyl methanesulfonate 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.
