Methyl 2-chloro-4-fluoro-5-nitrobenzoate CAS 85953-30-6 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 Methyl 2-chloro-4-fluoro-5-nitrobenzoate.

CATO supplies Methyl 2-chloro-4-fluoro-5-nitrobenzoate (CAS 85953-30-6), a certified reference material (molecular formula C8H5ClFNO4, MW 233.58 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Based on its molecular formula C8H5ClFNO4, Methyl 2-chloro-4-fluoro-5-nitrobenzoate contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/chlorine substitution; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 233.58 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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.

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.
