Chemical Structure

2-Oxo-3-(2-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)propanoic acid CAS 120658-69-7 chemical structure

Description

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

CATO supplies 2-Oxo-3-(2-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)propanoic acid (CAS 120658-69-7), a certified reference material (molecular formula C10H7F3O3, MW 232.16 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 2-Oxo-3-(2-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)propanoic acid is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 232.16 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

CATO manufactures 2-Oxo-3-(2-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)propanoic acid 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.
