Chemical Structure

Ethyl 3-(2-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)butanoate CAS 1956335-20-8 chemical structure

Description

CATO manufactures Ethyl 3-(2-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)butanoate under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.

Ethyl 3-(2-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)butanoate (CAS 1956335-20-8), molecular formula C13H15F3O2 and molecular weight 260.25 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, Ethyl 3-(2-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)butanoate is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 260.25 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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.
