Chemical Structure

(S)-3,3,3-trifluoro-2-hydroxy-2-phenylpropanoic acid CAS 29246-94-4 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 220.15 g/mol gives (S)-3,3,3-trifluoro-2-hydroxy-2-phenylpropanoic acid distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies (S)-3,3,3-trifluoro-2-hydroxy-2-phenylpropanoic acid (CAS 29246-94-4), a certified reference material (molecular formula C9H7F3O3, MW 220.15 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, (S)-3,3,3-trifluoro-2-hydroxy-2-phenylpropanoic acid is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 220.15 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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).

This reference standard is suitable for quantitative analysis on major chromatographic platforms including HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, and GC-MS, serving as an external calibration standard or a system suitability test reference material.

CATO manufactures (S)-3,3,3-trifluoro-2-hydroxy-2-phenylpropanoic acid under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
