Chemical Structure

2-Chloro-3-(trifluoromethyl)benzoic Acid CAS 39226-97-6 chemical structure

Description

The molecular framework of 2-Chloro-3-(trifluoromethyl)benzoic Acid (C8H4ClF3O2) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the polarity and ionization state of its functional groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).
