Chemical Structure
Description
The occurrence of (2-Fluoro-6-methylphenyl)methanol is closely related to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
CATO supplies (2-Fluoro-6-methylphenyl)methanol (CAS 478163-35-8), a certified reference material (molecular formula C8H9FO, MW 140.15 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
(2-Fluoro-6-methylphenyl)methanol (C8H9FO) contains a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point; 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-Fluoro-6-methylphenyl)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.
