Chemical Structure

Methyl 2-fluoro-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzoate CAS 220162-64-1 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies Methyl 2-fluoro-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzoate (CAS 220162-64-1), a certified reference material (molecular formula C9H6F4O2, MW 222.14 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Structurally, Methyl 2-fluoro-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzoate (C9H6F4O2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 5.0, corresponding to approximately 5 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 222.14 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

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

CATO manufactures Methyl 2-fluoro-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzoate 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.
