Ethyl 5-chloro-2-fluorobenzoate CAS 773139-56-3 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 Ethyl 5-chloro-2-fluorobenzoate.

Ethyl 5-chloro-2-fluorobenzoate (CAS 773139-56-3) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C9H8ClFO2 and a molecular weight of 202.61 g/mol.

Structurally, Ethyl 5-chloro-2-fluorobenzoate (C9H8ClFO2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 5.0, corresponding to approximately 5 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 202.61 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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.

CATO manufactures Ethyl 5-chloro-2-fluorobenzoate 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.
