Chemical Structure
Description
Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 2-fluoro-2-methylhexanoic acid.
2-fluoro-2-methylhexanoic acid (CAS 74106-60-8) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C7H13FO2 and a molecular weight of 148.18 g/mol.
Based on its molecular formula C7H13FO2, 2-fluoro-2-methylhexanoic acid contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution; these features give the compound characteristic functional-group stretching vibrations in infrared spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 148.18 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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.
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.
