Chemical Structure

methyl 2-trifluoromethanesulfonylacetate CAS 54049-36-4 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 methyl 2-trifluoromethanesulfonylacetate.

CATO supplies methyl 2-trifluoromethanesulfonylacetate (CAS 54049-36-4), a certified reference material (molecular formula C4H5F3O4S, MW 206.14 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Based on its molecular formula C4H5F3O4S, methyl 2-trifluoromethanesulfonylacetate contains a carbohydrate-derived structure, a sulfone group, fluorine substitution; these features give the compound characteristic functional-group stretching vibrations in infrared spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 206.14 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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.

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.
