Chemical Structure

4-(Trifluoromethyl)phenyl methanesulfonate CAS 37903-93-8 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 4-(Trifluoromethyl)phenyl methanesulfonate is closely related to a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

4-(Trifluoromethyl)phenyl methanesulfonate (CAS 37903-93-8), molecular formula C8H7F3O3S and molecular weight 240.20 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, 4-(Trifluoromethyl)phenyl methanesulfonate (C8H7F3O3S) contains a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 4.0, corresponding to approximately 4 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 240.20 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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.

CATO manufactures 4-(Trifluoromethyl)phenyl methanesulfonate under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
