Chemical Structure

2-Bromo-1-(3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)propan-1-one CAS 38786-68-4 chemical structure

Description

Structurally, 2-Bromo-1-(3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)propan-1-one (C10H8BrF3O) contains a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 5.0, corresponding to approximately 5 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 281.07 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

CATO supplies 2-Bromo-1-(3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)propan-1-one (CAS 38786-68-4), a certified reference material (molecular formula C10H8BrF3O, MW 281.07 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

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.
