Chemical Structure

2-Chloro-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzamide CAS 254880-52-9 chemical structure

Description

2-Chloro-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzamide (CAS 254880-52-9) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C8H5ClF3NO and a molecular weight of 223.58 g/mol.

The molecular framework of 2-Chloro-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzamide (C8H5ClF3NO) is characterized by a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/chlorine substitution. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the protonation state of its nitrogen-containing groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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

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.
