Chemical Structure

4,4,4-Trifluoro-2-methyl-1-(thiophen-2-yl)butane-1,3-dione CAS 346-01-0 chemical structure

Description

4,4,4-Trifluoro-2-methyl-1-(thiophen-2-yl)butane-1,3-dione (CAS 346-01-0), molecular formula C9H7F3O2S and molecular weight 236.21 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of 4,4,4-Trifluoro-2-methyl-1-(thiophen-2-yl)butane-1,3-dione (C9H7F3O2S) is characterized by a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine 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.

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.
