3-Methyl-5-(trifluoromethyl)benzyl alcohol CAS 116070-38-3

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 190.16 g/mol gives 3-Methyl-5-(trifluoromethyl)benzyl alcohol distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

3-Methyl-5-(trifluoromethyl)benzyl alcohol (CAS 116070-38-3), molecular formula C9H9F3O and molecular weight 190.16 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of 3-Methyl-5-(trifluoromethyl)benzyl alcohol (C9H9F3O) is characterized by a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the polarity and ionization state of its functional groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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.

CATO manufactures 3-Methyl-5-(trifluoromethyl)benzyl alcohol under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
