Chemical Structure

4-Fluorophenyl methanesulfonate CAS 72358-72-6 chemical structure

Description

4-Fluorophenyl methanesulfonate (CAS 72358-72-6) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C7H7FO3S and a molecular weight of 190.19 g/mol.

Based on its molecular formula C7H7FO3S, 4-Fluorophenyl methanesulfonate contains a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 190.19 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).

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.
