Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 230.23 g/mol gives (2-Fluorophenyl)(4-methoxyphenyl)methanone distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
CATO supplies (2-Fluorophenyl)(4-methoxyphenyl)methanone (CAS 66938-29-2), a certified reference material (molecular formula C14H11FO2, MW 230.23 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
(2-Fluorophenyl)(4-methoxyphenyl)methanone (C14H11FO2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic 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. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).
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-Fluorophenyl)(4-methoxyphenyl)methanone 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.
