The occurrence of 2-(4-Fluoro-3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)pyridine is closely related to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, fluorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
2-(4-Fluoro-3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)pyridine (CAS 405888-54-2), molecular formula C12H7F4N and molecular weight 241.18 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, fluorine substitution, 2-(4-Fluoro-3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)pyridine is typically pale yellow to yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 241.18 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), 2-(4-Fluoro-3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)pyridine 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.
