Chemical Structure

2-(Benzyloxy)-5-(trifluoromethyl)benzoic acid CAS 53985-54-9 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 296.24 g/mol gives 2-(Benzyloxy)-5-(trifluoromethyl)benzoic acid distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

2-(Benzyloxy)-5-(trifluoromethyl)benzoic acid (CAS 53985-54-9), molecular formula C15H11F3O3 and molecular weight 296.24 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of 2-(Benzyloxy)-5-(trifluoromethyl)benzoic acid (C15H11F3O3) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic 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. 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.

CATO manufactures 2-(Benzyloxy)-5-(trifluoromethyl)benzoic acid 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.
