Chemical Structure

Ethyl 4-methoxy-2-(trifluoromethoxy)benzoate CAS 1186195-26-5 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 Ethyl 4-methoxy-2-(trifluoromethoxy)benzoate.

Ethyl 4-methoxy-2-(trifluoromethoxy)benzoate (CAS 1186195-26-5) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C11H11F3O4 and a molecular weight of 264.20 g/mol.

The molecular framework of Ethyl 4-methoxy-2-(trifluoromethoxy)benzoate (C11H11F3O4) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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 Ethyl 4-methoxy-2-(trifluoromethoxy)benzoate 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.
