Chemical Structure

(5-(Trifluoromethyl)pyridine-2,3-diyl)bis(phenylmethanone) CAS 339106-10-4 chemical structure

Description

The molecular framework of (5-(Trifluoromethyl)pyridine-2,3-diyl)bis(phenylmethanone) (C20H12F3NO2) is characterized by a steroid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), 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.

(5-(Trifluoromethyl)pyridine-2,3-diyl)bis(phenylmethanone) (CAS 339106-10-4), molecular formula C20H12F3NO2 and molecular weight 355.31 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

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.

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.
