Chemical Structure

3-(Benzyloxy)-4-(trifluoromethyl)phenol CAS 1394980-77-8 chemical structure

Description

3-(Benzyloxy)-4-(trifluoromethyl)phenol (C14H11F3O2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

3-(Benzyloxy)-4-(trifluoromethyl)phenol (CAS 1394980-77-8), molecular formula C14H11F3O2 and molecular weight 268.23 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

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), 3-(Benzyloxy)-4-(trifluoromethyl)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.
