Chemical Structure

2,2,2-trifluoroethyl 2-bromoacetate CAS 61433-91-8 chemical structure

Description

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.

CATO supplies 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl 2-bromoacetate (CAS 61433-91-8), a certified reference material (molecular formula C4H4BrF3O2, MW 220.97 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/bromine substitution, 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl 2-bromoacetate is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 220.97 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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.
