Chemical Structure

3-Chloro-4-(trifluoromethyl)phenylacetic Acid CAS 1000568-54-6 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 3-Chloro-4-(trifluoromethyl)phenylacetic 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.

3-Chloro-4-(trifluoromethyl)phenylacetic Acid (CAS 1000568-54-6), molecular formula C9H6ClF3O2 and molecular weight 238.59 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

3-Chloro-4-(trifluoromethyl)phenylacetic Acid (C9H6ClF3O2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. 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. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

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.

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
