Chemical Structure

3-[(2,2,3,3-tetrafluoropropoxy)methyl]benzoic acid CAS 438466-00-3 chemical structure

Description

3-[(2,2,3,3-tetrafluoropropoxy)methyl]benzoic acid (CAS 438466-00-3), molecular formula C11H10F4O3 and molecular weight 266.19 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, 3-[(2,2,3,3-tetrafluoropropoxy)methyl]benzoic acid (C11H10F4O3) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 5.0, corresponding to approximately 5 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 266.19 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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

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.
