Chemical Structure

1-(Methanesulfonylmethyl)-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzene CAS 40289-23-4 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 1-(Methanesulfonylmethyl)-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzene 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.

1-(Methanesulfonylmethyl)-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzene (CAS 40289-23-4), molecular formula C9H9F3O2S and molecular weight 238.23 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 1-(Methanesulfonylmethyl)-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzene is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 238.23 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 1-(Methanesulfonylmethyl)-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzene 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.
