Chemical Structure

4’-(Trifluoromethyl)biphenyl-4-methanol CAS 457889-46-2 chemical structure

Description

4’-(Trifluoromethyl)biphenyl-4-methanol (CAS 457889-46-2) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C14H11F3O and a molecular weight of 252.23 g/mol.

Owing to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system, 4’-(Trifluoromethyl)biphenyl-4-methanol is typically pale yellow to yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 252.23 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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.
