Chemical Structure

5-Fluoro-2-naphthoic acid CAS 70631-82-2 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 190.17 g/mol gives 5-Fluoro-2-naphthoic acid distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

5-Fluoro-2-naphthoic acid (CAS 70631-82-2) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C11H7FO2 and a molecular weight of 190.17 g/mol.

Structurally, 5-Fluoro-2-naphthoic acid (C11H7FO2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 8.0, corresponding to approximately 8 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 190.17 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. 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).

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), 5-Fluoro-2-naphthoic acid 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.
