Chemical Structure

4-(Trifluoromethyl)cinnamaldehyde CAS 41917-83-3 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 200.16 g/mol gives 4-(Trifluoromethyl)cinnamaldehyde distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies 4-(Trifluoromethyl)cinnamaldehyde (CAS 41917-83-3), a certified reference material (molecular formula C10H7F3O, MW 200.16 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

The molecular framework of 4-(Trifluoromethyl)cinnamaldehyde (C10H7F3O) is characterized by a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

This reference standard is suitable for quantitative analysis on major chromatographic platforms including HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, and GC-MS, serving as an external calibration standard or a system suitability test reference material.

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.
