6-(3-Fluorophenyl)-2-pyridinecarboxylic Acid CAS 887982-40-3 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 6-(3-Fluorophenyl)-2-pyridinecarboxylic Acid.

6-(3-Fluorophenyl)-2-pyridinecarboxylic Acid (CAS 887982-40-3), molecular formula C12H8FNO2 and molecular weight 217.20 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Based on its molecular formula C12H8FNO2, 6-(3-Fluorophenyl)-2-pyridinecarboxylic Acid contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 217.20 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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.

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.
