Chemical Structure

N-tert-Butyl-3-(trifluoromethyl)benzamide CAS 340136-34-7 chemical structure

Description

N-tert-Butyl-3-(trifluoromethyl)benzamide (CAS 340136-34-7) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C12H14F3NO and a molecular weight of 245.24 g/mol.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, N-tert-Butyl-3-(trifluoromethyl)benzamide is typically off-white to pale yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 245.24 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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), N-tert-Butyl-3-(trifluoromethyl)benzamide 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.
