Chemical Structure

4-(3-Bromo-2-trifluoromethylphenyl)-4-oxo-butyric acid CAS 1416373-70-0 chemical structure

Description

4-(3-Bromo-2-trifluoromethylphenyl)-4-oxo-butyric acid (CAS 1416373-70-0), molecular formula C11H8BrF3O3 and molecular weight 325.08 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, 4-(3-Bromo-2-trifluoromethylphenyl)-4-oxo-butyric acid (C11H8BrF3O3) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 6.0, corresponding to approximately 6 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 325.08 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-molecular-weight range. 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).

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), 4-(3-Bromo-2-trifluoromethylphenyl)-4-oxo-butyric 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.
