Chemical Structure

2-(3,5-Dimethylphenoxy)-5-(trifluoromethyl)benzonitrile CAS 477867-14-4 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 2-(3,5-Dimethylphenoxy)-5-(trifluoromethyl)benzonitrile.

CATO supplies 2-(3,5-Dimethylphenoxy)-5-(trifluoromethyl)benzonitrile (CAS 477867-14-4), a certified reference material (molecular formula C16H12F3NO, MW 291.27 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, 2-(3,5-Dimethylphenoxy)-5-(trifluoromethyl)benzonitrile is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 291.27 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).

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.
