2-((4-(Trifluoromethyl)pyridin-3-yl)thio)acetic acid (CAS 387350-44-9), molecular formula C8H6F3NO2S and molecular weight 237.20 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Based on its molecular formula C8H6F3NO2S, 2-((4-(Trifluoromethyl)pyridin-3-yl)thio)acetic acid contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a sulfone group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 237.20 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.
Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
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.
