Chemical Structure

3,4-Dichloro-5-(trifluoromethoxy)benzoic acid CAS 1706458-45-8 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 3,4-Dichloro-5-(trifluoromethoxy)benzoic acid.

3,4-Dichloro-5-(trifluoromethoxy)benzoic acid (CAS 1706458-45-8) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C8H3Cl2F3O3 and a molecular weight of 275.01 g/mol.

Based on its molecular formula C8H3Cl2F3O3, 3,4-Dichloro-5-(trifluoromethoxy)benzoic acid contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 275.01 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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).
