Chemical Structure

3-{4-[(3,4-Difluorobenzyl)oxy]phenyl}acrylic acid CAS 649740-48-7 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 3-{4-[(3,4-Difluorobenzyl)oxy]phenyl}acrylic acid.

3-{4-[(3,4-Difluorobenzyl)oxy]phenyl}acrylic acid (CAS 649740-48-7) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C16H12F2O3 and a molecular weight of 290.26 g/mol.

Based on its molecular formula C16H12F2O3, 3-{4-[(3,4-Difluorobenzyl)oxy]phenyl}acrylic acid contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 290.26 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).
