Chemical Structure

(4-[(2-fluorophenyl)methoxy]phenyl)methanol CAS 690963-48-5 chemical structure

Description

(4-[(2-fluorophenyl)methoxy]phenyl)methanol (CAS 690963-48-5), molecular formula C14H13FO2 and molecular weight 232.25 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of (4-[(2-fluorophenyl)methoxy]phenyl)methanol (C14H13FO2) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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.

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
