Chemical Structure

2-Chloro-1-ethynyl-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzene CAS 1340255-91-5 chemical structure

Description

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.

2-Chloro-1-ethynyl-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzene (CAS 1340255-91-5), molecular formula C9H4ClF3 and molecular weight 204.58 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to fluorine/chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 2-Chloro-1-ethynyl-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzene is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 204.58 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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.
