Chemical Structure

3-Methyl-1-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]butan-1-one CAS 1184224-97-2 chemical structure

Description

3-Methyl-1-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]butan-1-one (CAS 1184224-97-2), molecular formula C12H13F3O and molecular weight 230.23 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 3-Methyl-1-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]butan-1-one is typically off-white to pale yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 230.23 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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.

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.
