Chemical Structure
Description
The occurrence of Methyl 3-(3-methylphenyl)-5-(trifluoromethyl)benzoate is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
Methyl 3-(3-methylphenyl)-5-(trifluoromethyl)benzoate (CAS 1820666-87-2), molecular formula C16H13F3O2 and molecular weight 294.27 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
The molecular framework of Methyl 3-(3-methylphenyl)-5-(trifluoromethyl)benzoate (C16H13F3O2) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).
Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
