Chemical Structure

1,2,3,4,5,6-Hexakis(trifluoromethyl)benzene CAS 2340-93-4 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 1,2,3,4,5,6-Hexakis(trifluoromethyl)benzene is closely related to fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

1,2,3,4,5,6-Hexakis(trifluoromethyl)benzene (CAS 2340-93-4) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C12F18 and a molecular weight of 486.10 g/mol.

Based on its molecular formula C12F18, 1,2,3,4,5,6-Hexakis(trifluoromethyl)benzene contains fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 486.10 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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.
