Chemical Structure

4-Chloro-1-methyl-2-(trifluoromethyl)benzene CAS 1839-92-5 chemical structure

Description

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

4-Chloro-1-methyl-2-(trifluoromethyl)benzene (CAS 1839-92-5), molecular formula C8H6ClF3 and molecular weight 194.58 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to fluorine/chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 4-Chloro-1-methyl-2-(trifluoromethyl)benzene is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 194.58 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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.
