Chemical Structure

Methyl (S)-3,3,3-trifluoro-2-hydroxypropanoate CAS 189060-64-8 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 158.08 g/mol gives Methyl (S)-3,3,3-trifluoro-2-hydroxypropanoate distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies Methyl (S)-3,3,3-trifluoro-2-hydroxypropanoate (CAS 189060-64-8), a certified reference material (molecular formula C4H5F3O3, MW 158.08 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

The molecular framework of Methyl (S)-3,3,3-trifluoro-2-hydroxypropanoate (C4H5F3O3) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the polarity and ionization state of its functional groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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

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.
