Chemical Structure

4-Hydroxy-3-(trifluoromethoxy)benzonitrile CAS 1093397-72-8 chemical structure

Description

4-Hydroxy-3-(trifluoromethoxy)benzonitrile (C8H4F3NO2) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution. 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).

4-Hydroxy-3-(trifluoromethoxy)benzonitrile (CAS 1093397-72-8), molecular formula C8H4F3NO2 and molecular weight 203.12 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

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.
