2-(3,5-Bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)acetaldehyde (CAS 369625-84-3), molecular formula C10H6F6O and molecular weight 256.14 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Owing to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 2-(3,5-Bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)acetaldehyde is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 256.14 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.
Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
