Chemical Structure

1-Methyl-3-(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)benzene CAS 50562-00-0 chemical structure

Description

As a certified reference material (CRM), 1-Methyl-3-(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)benzene meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.

1-Methyl-3-(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)benzene (CAS 50562-00-0), molecular formula C9H9F3 and molecular weight 174.16 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 1-Methyl-3-(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)benzene is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 174.16 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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.
