Chemical Structure

(2-(4-Chloro-3-fluorophenoxy)phenyl)methanol CAS 477887-07-3 chemical structure

Description

(2-(4-Chloro-3-fluorophenoxy)phenyl)methanol (CAS 477887-07-3) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C13H10ClFO2 and a molecular weight of 252.67 g/mol.

(2-(4-Chloro-3-fluorophenoxy)phenyl)methanol (C13H10ClFO2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, 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-(4-Chloro-3-fluorophenoxy)phenyl)methanol 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.
