3-Chloro-4-fluoro-5-hydroxybenzoic acid CAS 950525-96-9 chemical structure

Description

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

CATO supplies 3-Chloro-4-fluoro-5-hydroxybenzoic acid (CAS 950525-96-9), a certified reference material (molecular formula C7H4ClFO3, MW 190.56 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

3-Chloro-4-fluoro-5-hydroxybenzoic acid (C7H4ClFO3) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. It is notably hygroscopic, halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, 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.

CATO manufactures 3-Chloro-4-fluoro-5-hydroxybenzoic 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.
