Chemical Structure

3-(3,4-Dimethylphenyl)-4-fluoropropiophenone CAS 898779-29-8 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 3-(3,4-Dimethylphenyl)-4-fluoropropiophenone is closely related to a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies 3-(3,4-Dimethylphenyl)-4-fluoropropiophenone (CAS 898779-29-8), a certified reference material (molecular formula C17H17FO, MW 256.31 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, 3-(3,4-Dimethylphenyl)-4-fluoropropiophenone is typically pale yellow to yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 256.31 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

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.
