(1-Bromo-3,3,3-trifluoropropyl)benzene (CAS 3238-20-8) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C9H8BrF3 and a molecular weight of 253.06 g/mol.
The molecular framework of (1-Bromo-3,3,3-trifluoropropyl)benzene (C9H8BrF3) is characterized by fluorine/bromine 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. 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.
As a certified reference material (CRM), (1-Bromo-3,3,3-trifluoropropyl)benzene meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
