Chemical Structure

Ethyl 2-(4-fluorophenyl)-2-hydroxyacetate CAS 7550-03-0 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 198.19 g/mol gives Ethyl 2-(4-fluorophenyl)-2-hydroxyacetate distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

Ethyl 2-(4-fluorophenyl)-2-hydroxyacetate (CAS 7550-03-0), molecular formula C10H11FO3 and molecular weight 198.19 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of Ethyl 2-(4-fluorophenyl)-2-hydroxyacetate (C10H11FO3) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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).

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

CATO manufactures Ethyl 2-(4-fluorophenyl)-2-hydroxyacetate under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
