Chemical Structure

5-(4-Fluorophenyl)picolinic acid CAS 845826-99-5 chemical structure

Description

5-(4-Fluorophenyl)picolinic acid (CAS 845826-99-5), molecular formula C12H8FNO2 and molecular weight 217.20 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

5-(4-Fluorophenyl)picolinic acid (C12H8FNO2) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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 5-(4-Fluorophenyl)picolinic acid 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.
