Chemical Structure

Methyl 3-methyl-4-[4-(trifluoromethoxy)phenyl]benzoate CAS 1820735-90-7 chemical structure

Description

Methyl 3-methyl-4-[4-(trifluoromethoxy)phenyl]benzoate (C16H13F3O3) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic 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 aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

Methyl 3-methyl-4-[4-(trifluoromethoxy)phenyl]benzoate (CAS 1820735-90-7) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C16H13F3O3 and a molecular weight of 310.27 g/mol.

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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Methyl 3-methyl-4-[4-(trifluoromethoxy)phenyl]benzoate meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
