Chemical Structure

1-(4'-Fluoro-[1,1'-biphenyl]-4-yl)ethan-1-one CAS 720-74-1 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 1-(4'-Fluoro-[1,1'-biphenyl]-4-yl)ethan-1-one is closely related to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

1-(4'-Fluoro-[1,1'-biphenyl]-4-yl)ethan-1-one (CAS 720-74-1), molecular formula C14H11FO and molecular weight 214.23 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system, 1-(4'-Fluoro-[1,1'-biphenyl]-4-yl)ethan-1-one is typically pale yellow to yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 214.23 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 1-(4'-Fluoro-[1,1'-biphenyl]-4-yl)ethan-1-one 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.
