Chemical Structure

5-Chloro-2-[(2-fluorobenzyl)oxy]benzoic acid CAS 938357-14-3 chemical structure

Description

CATO manufactures 5-Chloro-2-[(2-fluorobenzyl)oxy]benzoic 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.

5-Chloro-2-[(2-fluorobenzyl)oxy]benzoic acid (CAS 938357-14-3) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C14H10ClFO3 and a molecular weight of 280.68 g/mol.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/chlorine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system, 5-Chloro-2-[(2-fluorobenzyl)oxy]benzoic acid is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 280.68 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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.
