Chemical Structure

2-(Trifluoromethyl)benzenepropanoyl Chloride CAS 557111-00-9 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 2-(Trifluoromethyl)benzenepropanoyl Chloride is closely related to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies 2-(Trifluoromethyl)benzenepropanoyl Chloride (CAS 557111-00-9), a certified reference material (molecular formula C10H8ClF3O, MW 236.62 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Based on its molecular formula C10H8ClF3O, 2-(Trifluoromethyl)benzenepropanoyl Chloride contains a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 236.62 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 2-(Trifluoromethyl)benzenepropanoyl Chloride 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.
