Chemical Structure

2-(Trifluoromethyl)benzoyl Chloride CAS 312-94-7 chemical structure

Description

The molecular framework of 2-(Trifluoromethyl)benzoyl Chloride (C8H4ClF3O) is characterized by a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the polarity and ionization state of its functional 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.

2-(Trifluoromethyl)benzoyl Chloride (CAS 312-94-7), molecular formula C8H4ClF3O and molecular weight 208.56 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

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

CATO manufactures 2-(Trifluoromethyl)benzoyl Chloride 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.
