3-Bromo-4-(trifluoromethyl)phenol CAS 1214385-56-4 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies 3-Bromo-4-(trifluoromethyl)phenol (CAS 1214385-56-4), a certified reference material (molecular formula C7H4BrF3O, MW 241.01 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 3-Bromo-4-(trifluoromethyl)phenol is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 241.01 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 3-Bromo-4-(trifluoromethyl)phenol 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.
