Chemical Structure

3-Hydroxy-3-(2-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)propanoic acid CAS 1249467-87-5 chemical structure

Description

3-Hydroxy-3-(2-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)propanoic acid (CAS 1249467-87-5), molecular formula C10H9F3O3 and molecular weight 234.17 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 3-Hydroxy-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 234.17 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.

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 3-Hydroxy-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.
