Ethyl 3-chloro-5-fluoro-4-hydroxybenzoate (CAS 832087-79-3) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C9H8ClFO3 and a molecular weight of 218.61 g/mol.
Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, Ethyl 3-chloro-5-fluoro-4-hydroxybenzoate is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 218.61 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).
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.
