Chemical Structure

2-Methoxy-alpha-(trifluoromethyl)benzyl Alcohol CAS 26902-84-1 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 2-Methoxy-alpha-(trifluoromethyl)benzyl Alcohol is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies 2-Methoxy-alpha-(trifluoromethyl)benzyl Alcohol (CAS 26902-84-1), a certified reference material (molecular formula C9H9F3O2, MW 206.16 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Structurally, 2-Methoxy-alpha-(trifluoromethyl)benzyl Alcohol (C9H9F3O2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 4.0, corresponding to approximately 4 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 206.16 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. 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).
