Chemical Structure

tert-Butyl 4-bromo-2-(trifluoromethoxy)benzoate CAS 2379322-16-2 chemical structure

Description

tert-Butyl 4-bromo-2-(trifluoromethoxy)benzoate (CAS 2379322-16-2), molecular formula C12H12BrF3O3 and molecular weight 341.12 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, tert-Butyl 4-bromo-2-(trifluoromethoxy)benzoate (C12H12BrF3O3) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/bromine 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 341.12 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-molecular-weight range. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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

As a certified reference material (CRM), tert-Butyl 4-bromo-2-(trifluoromethoxy)benzoate meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
