Chemical Structure

2-[(Trifluoromethyl)thio]acetic Acid CAS 2408-17-5 chemical structure

Description

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

CATO supplies 2-[(Trifluoromethyl)thio]acetic Acid (CAS 2408-17-5), a certified reference material (molecular formula C3H3F3O2S, MW 160.11 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, 2-[(Trifluoromethyl)thio]acetic Acid is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 160.11 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 2-[(Trifluoromethyl)thio]acetic Acid 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.
