Chemical Structure

2-Amino-4,4,4-trifluorobutyric acid CAS 15959-93-0 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 2-Amino-4,4,4-trifluorobutyric acid is closely related to an amide group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies 2-Amino-4,4,4-trifluorobutyric acid (CAS 15959-93-0), a certified reference material (molecular formula C4H6F3NO2, MW 157.09 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to an amide group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, 2-Amino-4,4,4-trifluorobutyric acid is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 157.09 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.

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.
