Chemical Structure

Sodium trichloroacetate CAS 650-51-1 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 Sodium trichloroacetate.

Sodium trichloroacetate (CAS 650-51-1), molecular formula C2Cl3O2Na and molecular weight 185.36 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, Sodium trichloroacetate (C2Cl3O2Na) contains a salt form, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 1.5, corresponding to approximately 1 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 185.36 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. 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.
