Chemical Structure

4-(2,3-Difluorophenyl)butanoic acid CAS 939043-52-4 chemical structure

Description

Structurally, 4-(2,3-Difluorophenyl)butanoic acid (C10H10F2O2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 5.0, corresponding to approximately 5 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 200.18 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

4-(2,3-Difluorophenyl)butanoic acid (CAS 939043-52-4) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C10H10F2O2 and a molecular weight of 200.18 g/mol.

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), 4-(2,3-Difluorophenyl)butanoic 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.
