Chemical Structure
Description
Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 120.12 g/mol gives Ethyl (R)-2-fluoropropanoate distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
Ethyl (R)-2-fluoropropanoate (CAS 72959-94-5) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C5H9FO2 and a molecular weight of 120.12 g/mol.
Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, Ethyl (R)-2-fluoropropanoate is typically white to off-white liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 120.12 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), Ethyl (R)-2-fluoropropanoate 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.
