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.
(2R-cis)--2-(Trifluoromethyl)thiazolidine-4-carboxylic acid (CAS 171204-96-9), molecular formula C5H6F3NO2S and molecular weight 201.17 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Owing to an amide group, a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, (2R-cis)--2-(Trifluoromethyl)thiazolidine-4-carboxylic acid is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 201.17 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.
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.
