Chemical Structure

Ethyl 4,4,4-trifluoro-3-(trifluoromethyl)butanoate CAS 17327-34-3 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Ethyl 4,4,4-trifluoro-3-(trifluoromethyl)butanoate is closely related to 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.

Ethyl 4,4,4-trifluoro-3-(trifluoromethyl)butanoate (CAS 17327-34-3) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C7H8F6O2 and a molecular weight of 238.13 g/mol.

Based on its molecular formula C7H8F6O2, Ethyl 4,4,4-trifluoro-3-(trifluoromethyl)butanoate contains 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 238.13 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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.

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.
