Chemical Structure

Methyl 2-chloro-4-[4-(trifluoromethoxy)phenyl]benzoate CAS 1820675-34-0 chemical structure

Description

The molecular framework of Methyl 2-chloro-4-[4-(trifluoromethoxy)phenyl]benzoate (C15H10ClF3O3) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/chlorine 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).

CATO supplies Methyl 2-chloro-4-[4-(trifluoromethoxy)phenyl]benzoate (CAS 1820675-34-0), a certified reference material (molecular formula C15H10ClF3O3, MW 330.69 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

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.
