Chemical Structure

2-Methoxymethoxy-5-(trifluoromethyl)benzoic acid CAS 368422-27-9 chemical structure

Description

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.

2-Methoxymethoxy-5-(trifluoromethyl)benzoic acid (CAS 368422-27-9) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C10H9F3O4 and a molecular weight of 250.17 g/mol.

The molecular framework of 2-Methoxymethoxy-5-(trifluoromethyl)benzoic acid (C10H9F3O4) is characterized by 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 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 2-Methoxymethoxy-5-(trifluoromethyl)benzoic acid 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.
