Chemical Structure

4-(4-Trifluoromethoxyphenyl)phenol CAS 173025-79-1 chemical structure

Description

4-(4-Trifluoromethoxyphenyl)phenol (CAS 173025-79-1), molecular formula C13H9F3O2 and molecular weight 254.20 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

4-(4-Trifluoromethoxyphenyl)phenol (C13H9F3O2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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

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.
