Chemical Structure

2-Fluorobenzene-1,4-diol CAS 55660-73-6 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 2-Fluorobenzene-1,4-diol is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, 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.

2-Fluorobenzene-1,4-diol (CAS 55660-73-6) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C6H5FO2 and a molecular weight of 128.10 g/mol.

Based on its molecular formula C6H5FO2, 2-Fluorobenzene-1,4-diol contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 128.10 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).
