5-Chloro-2-(trifluoromethyl)benzoic acid methyl ester CAS 521064-74-4

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 238.59 g/mol gives 5-Chloro-2-(trifluoromethyl)benzoic acid methyl ester distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

5-Chloro-2-(trifluoromethyl)benzoic acid methyl ester (CAS 521064-74-4), molecular formula C9H6ClF3O2 and molecular weight 238.59 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 5-Chloro-2-(trifluoromethyl)benzoic acid methyl ester is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 238.59 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.
