Chemical Structure

1-(2-Methoxy-5-(trifluoromethoxy)phenyl)ethanol CAS 468074-91-1 chemical structure

Description

1-(2-Methoxy-5-(trifluoromethoxy)phenyl)ethanol (CAS 468074-91-1), molecular formula C10H11F3O3 and molecular weight 236.19 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of 1-(2-Methoxy-5-(trifluoromethoxy)phenyl)ethanol (C10H11F3O3) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, 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.

CATO manufactures 1-(2-Methoxy-5-(trifluoromethoxy)phenyl)ethanol 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.
