Chemical Structure

Trifluoroacetamide CAS 354-38-1 chemical structure

Description

Trifluoroacetamide (CAS 354-38-1), molecular formula C2H2F3NO and molecular weight 113.04 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Trifluoroacetamide (C2H2F3NO) contains an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point; 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.

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.
