Chemical Structure

3-(2,2,2-Trifluoroethoxy)propanoic acid CAS 1016854-20-8 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 172.10 g/mol gives 3-(2,2,2-Trifluoroethoxy)propanoic acid distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies 3-(2,2,2-Trifluoroethoxy)propanoic acid (CAS 1016854-20-8), a certified reference material (molecular formula C5H7F3O3, MW 172.10 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

3-(2,2,2-Trifluoroethoxy)propanoic acid (C5H7F3O3) 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.

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

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.
