Chemical Structure

4-(Trifluoromethyl)benzyl mercaptan CAS 108499-24-7 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 192.20 g/mol gives 4-(Trifluoromethyl)benzyl mercaptan distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies 4-(Trifluoromethyl)benzyl mercaptan (CAS 108499-24-7), a certified reference material (molecular formula C8H7F3S, MW 192.20 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to sulfur-containing functionality, fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 4-(Trifluoromethyl)benzyl mercaptan is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 192.20 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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.
