Chemical Structure

3-(Chlorosulfonyl)-2,4,6-trifluorobenzoic acid CAS 1242340-00-6 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 3-(Chlorosulfonyl)-2,4,6-trifluorobenzoic acid is closely related to a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

3-(Chlorosulfonyl)-2,4,6-trifluorobenzoic acid (CAS 1242340-00-6) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C7H2ClF3O4S and a molecular weight of 274.60 g/mol.

Owing to a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 3-(Chlorosulfonyl)-2,4,6-trifluorobenzoic acid is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 274.60 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.

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

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.
