Chemical Structure

3-Methoxy-5-(trifluoromethoxy)phenol CAS 1261752-88-8 chemical structure

Description

3-Methoxy-5-(trifluoromethoxy)phenol (CAS 1261752-88-8) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C8H7F3O3 and a molecular weight of 208.13 g/mol.

The molecular framework of 3-Methoxy-5-(trifluoromethoxy)phenol (C8H7F3O3) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the polarity and ionization state of its functional groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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), 3-Methoxy-5-(trifluoromethoxy)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.
