Chemical Structure

4-((2-Chloro-6-fluorobenzyl)oxy)-3-ethoxybenzoic acid CAS 938375-84-9 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 324.73 g/mol gives 4-((2-Chloro-6-fluorobenzyl)oxy)-3-ethoxybenzoic acid distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

4-((2-Chloro-6-fluorobenzyl)oxy)-3-ethoxybenzoic acid (CAS 938375-84-9), molecular formula C16H14ClFO4 and molecular weight 324.73 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of 4-((2-Chloro-6-fluorobenzyl)oxy)-3-ethoxybenzoic acid (C16H14ClFO4) is characterized by a flavonoid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/chlorine substitution. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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.

CATO manufactures 4-((2-Chloro-6-fluorobenzyl)oxy)-3-ethoxybenzoic 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.
