Chemical Structure

2-[3,5-Bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]oxirane CAS 109086-18-2 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 2-[3,5-Bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]oxirane.

CATO supplies 2-[3,5-Bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]oxirane (CAS 109086-18-2), a certified reference material (molecular formula C10H6F6O, MW 256.14 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 2-[3,5-Bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]oxirane is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 256.14 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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.
