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.
CATO supplies 4,4,4-trifluoro-1-(5-methylthiophen-2-yl)butane-1,3-dione (CAS 326-72-7), a certified reference material (molecular formula C9H7F3O2S, MW 236.21 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
4,4,4-trifluoro-1-(5-methylthiophen-2-yl)butane-1,3-dione (C9H7F3O2S) contains a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.
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.
