Chemical Structure

(4-Fluoro-3-methyl-5-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)methanol CAS 1373921-08-4 chemical structure

Description

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.

(4-Fluoro-3-methyl-5-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)methanol (CAS 1373921-08-4) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C9H8F4O and a molecular weight of 208.15 g/mol.

The molecular framework of (4-Fluoro-3-methyl-5-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)methanol (C9H8F4O) is characterized by 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 presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

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.
