The occurrence of 4-Iodo-2-methyl-1-(trifluoromethoxy)benzene is closely related to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/iodine substitution, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
4-Iodo-2-methyl-1-(trifluoromethoxy)benzene (CAS 1263059-93-3), molecular formula C8H6F3IO and molecular weight 302.03 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Structurally, 4-Iodo-2-methyl-1-(trifluoromethoxy)benzene (C8H6F3IO) contains a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/iodine substitution, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 4.0, corresponding to approximately 4 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 302.03 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-molecular-weight range. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).
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.
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.
