(2E)-N-(4-Chlorophenyl)-3-[4-(trifluoromethoxy)phenyl]prop-2-enamide CAS 260555-67-7 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including (2E)-N-(4-Chlorophenyl)-3-[4-(trifluoromethoxy)phenyl]prop-2-enamide.

(2E)-N-(4-Chlorophenyl)-3-[4-(trifluoromethoxy)phenyl]prop-2-enamide (CAS 260555-67-7), molecular formula C16H11ClF3NO2 and molecular weight 341.71 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/chlorine substitution, (2E)-N-(4-Chlorophenyl)-3-[4-(trifluoromethoxy)phenyl]prop-2-enamide is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 341.71 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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.
