Chemical Structure

3-[(trifluoromethyl)sulfanyl]benzonitrile CAS 660-44-6 chemical structure

Description

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, sulfur-containing functionality, fluorine substitution, 3-[(trifluoromethyl)sulfanyl]benzonitrile is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 203.18 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

3-[(trifluoromethyl)sulfanyl]benzonitrile (CAS 660-44-6), molecular formula C8H4F3NS and molecular weight 203.18 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
