CATO supplies 2-Amino-5,5,5-trifluoro-4-(trifluoromethyl)pentanoic acid (CAS 16063-98-2), a certified reference material (molecular formula C6H7F6NO2, MW 239.12 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
Based on its molecular formula C6H7F6NO2, 2-Amino-5,5,5-trifluoro-4-(trifluoromethyl)pentanoic acid contains an amide group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution; these features give the compound characteristic functional-group stretching vibrations in infrared spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 239.12 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.
The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
