Chemical Structure

(2S)-2-(Trifluoromethoxy)propanoic acid CAS 1286762-00-2 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 158.08 g/mol gives (2S)-2-(Trifluoromethoxy)propanoic acid distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies (2S)-2-(Trifluoromethoxy)propanoic acid (CAS 1286762-00-2), a certified reference material (molecular formula C4H5F3O3, MW 158.08 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

The molecular framework of (2S)-2-(Trifluoromethoxy)propanoic acid (C4H5F3O3) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution. 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. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), (2S)-2-(Trifluoromethoxy)propanoic 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.
