Chemical Structure

2-Fluoro-1-(4-methoxyphenyl)ethanone CAS 73744-44-2 chemical structure

Description

2-Fluoro-1-(4-methoxyphenyl)ethanone (C9H9FO2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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).

CATO supplies 2-Fluoro-1-(4-methoxyphenyl)ethanone (CAS 73744-44-2), a certified reference material (molecular formula C9H9FO2, MW 168.16 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

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

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.
