5-Fluoro-2-nitro-4-(trifluoromethyl)aniline (CAS 428871-73-2), molecular formula C7H4F4N2O2 and molecular weight 224.11 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Owing to an amide group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 5-Fluoro-2-nitro-4-(trifluoromethyl)aniline is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 224.11 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).
CATO manufactures 5-Fluoro-2-nitro-4-(trifluoromethyl)aniline under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
