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-(2,2,2-trifluoroacetyl)cyclohexan-1-one (CAS 387-89-3), molecular formula C8H9F3O2 and molecular weight 194.15 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, 2-(2,2,2-trifluoroacetyl)cyclohexan-1-one is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 194.15 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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-(2,2,2-trifluoroacetyl)cyclohexan-1-one 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.
