Chemical Structure

N-Formyl 2-chloro-5-trifluoromethylaniline CAS 657-63-6 chemical structure

Description

N-Formyl 2-chloro-5-trifluoromethylaniline (CAS 657-63-6), molecular formula C8H5ClF3NO and molecular weight 223.58 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/chlorine substitution, N-Formyl 2-chloro-5-trifluoromethylaniline is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 223.58 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

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 N-Formyl 2-chloro-5-trifluoromethylaniline 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.
