Chemical Structure

2’-Hydroxy-5’-(trifluoromethoxy)acetophenone CAS 146575-64-6 chemical structure

Description

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

2’-Hydroxy-5’-(trifluoromethoxy)acetophenone (CAS 146575-64-6), molecular formula C9H7F3O3 and molecular weight 220.15 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 2’-Hydroxy-5’-(trifluoromethoxy)acetophenone is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 220.15 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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).

As a certified reference material (CRM), 2’-Hydroxy-5’-(trifluoromethoxy)acetophenone 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.
