Chemical Structure

3-Fluoropropanoic acid CAS 461-56-3 chemical structure

Description

CATO manufactures 3-Fluoropropanoic acid 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.

3-Fluoropropanoic acid (CAS 461-56-3) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C3H5FO2 and a molecular weight of 92.07 g/mol.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, 3-Fluoropropanoic acid is typically white to off-white liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 92.07 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.

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.
