3-Methyl-2,2-bis(4-(trifluoromethoxy)phenyl)oxirane CAS 2231674-19-2 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 378.27 g/mol gives 3-Methyl-2,2-bis(4-(trifluoromethoxy)phenyl)oxirane distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies 3-Methyl-2,2-bis(4-(trifluoromethoxy)phenyl)oxirane (CAS 2231674-19-2), a certified reference material (molecular formula C17H12F6O3, MW 378.27 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Structurally, 3-Methyl-2,2-bis(4-(trifluoromethoxy)phenyl)oxirane (C17H12F6O3) contains a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 9.0, corresponding to approximately 9 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 378.27 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-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).

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.

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.
