Chemical Structure

5-(2-Chloro-4-fluorophenyl)-5-oxopentanoic acid CAS 951889-41-1 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 5-(2-Chloro-4-fluorophenyl)-5-oxopentanoic acid is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

5-(2-Chloro-4-fluorophenyl)-5-oxopentanoic acid (CAS 951889-41-1), molecular formula C11H10ClFO3 and molecular weight 244.65 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of 5-(2-Chloro-4-fluorophenyl)-5-oxopentanoic acid (C11H10ClFO3) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. 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. 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.

CATO manufactures 5-(2-Chloro-4-fluorophenyl)-5-oxopentanoic 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.
