The occurrence of 2-Fluoro-5-[2-(trifluoromethoxy)phenyl]benzoic acid is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
2-Fluoro-5-[2-(trifluoromethoxy)phenyl]benzoic acid (CAS 926255-81-4) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C14H8F4O3 and a molecular weight of 300.21 g/mol.
2-Fluoro-5-[2-(trifluoromethoxy)phenyl]benzoic acid (C14H8F4O3) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system. It is notably hygroscopic, 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. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.
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.
As a certified reference material (CRM), 2-Fluoro-5-[2-(trifluoromethoxy)phenyl]benzoic acid meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
