Chemical Structure

4-Fluoro-3-(trifluoromethyl)cinnamic acid CAS 239463-90-2 chemical structure

Description

Based on its molecular formula C10H6F4O2, 4-Fluoro-3-(trifluoromethyl)cinnamic acid contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 234.15 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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).
