CATO supplies 4-(tert-Butoxy)-4-oxo-2-(4-(trifluoromethoxy)benzyl)butanoic acid (CAS 1260665-08-4), a certified reference material (molecular formula C16H19F3O5, MW 348.31 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, 4-(tert-Butoxy)-4-oxo-2-(4-(trifluoromethoxy)benzyl)butanoic acid is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 348.31 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.
As a certified reference material (CRM), 4-(tert-Butoxy)-4-oxo-2-(4-(trifluoromethoxy)benzyl)butanoic acid 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.
