Chemical Structure

4-(Trifluoromethoxy)butanoic acid CAS 1485347-75-8 chemical structure

Description

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, 4-(Trifluoromethoxy)butanoic acid is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 172.10 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

CATO supplies 4-(Trifluoromethoxy)butanoic acid (CAS 1485347-75-8), a certified reference material (molecular formula C5H7F3O3, MW 172.10 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

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