(S)-3-Fluoro-2-hydroxypropanoic acid CAS 97643-52-2 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.

(S)-3-Fluoro-2-hydroxypropanoic acid (CAS 97643-52-2) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C3H5FO3 and a molecular weight of 108.07 g/mol.

(S)-3-Fluoro-2-hydroxypropanoic acid (C3H5FO3) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution. 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), (S)-3-Fluoro-2-hydroxypropanoic 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.
