Chemical Structure

4-Chloro-8-(trifluoromethyl)quinoline CAS 23779-97-7 chemical structure

Description

Structurally, 4-Chloro-8-(trifluoromethyl)quinoline (C10H5ClF3N) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, fluorine/chlorine substitution. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 7.0, corresponding to approximately 7 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 231.60 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

CATO supplies 4-Chloro-8-(trifluoromethyl)quinoline (CAS 23779-97-7), a certified reference material (molecular formula C10H5ClF3N, MW 231.60 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

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.
