Chemical Structure

(2-(Methylsulfonyl)-4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)methanol CAS 225502-40-9 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including (2-(Methylsulfonyl)-4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)methanol.

(2-(Methylsulfonyl)-4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)methanol (CAS 225502-40-9) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C9H9F3O3S and a molecular weight of 254.23 g/mol.

Owing to a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, (2-(Methylsulfonyl)-4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)methanol is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 254.23 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).
