Chemical Structure

2,2,2-Trifluoro-1-(4-isobutylphenyl)ethanol CAS 118453-45-5 chemical structure

Description

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.

2,2,2-Trifluoro-1-(4-isobutylphenyl)ethanol (CAS 118453-45-5), molecular formula C12H15F3O and molecular weight 232.24 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, 2,2,2-Trifluoro-1-(4-isobutylphenyl)ethanol is typically off-white to pale yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 232.24 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).

As a certified reference material (CRM), 2,2,2-Trifluoro-1-(4-isobutylphenyl)ethanol meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
