Methyl 2-iodo-3,3,3-trifluoropropanoate CAS 666-93-3 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 Methyl 2-iodo-3,3,3-trifluoropropanoate.

Methyl 2-iodo-3,3,3-trifluoropropanoate (CAS 666-93-3) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C4H4F3IO2 and a molecular weight of 267.97 g/mol.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/iodine substitution, Methyl 2-iodo-3,3,3-trifluoropropanoate is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 267.97 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Methyl 2-iodo-3,3,3-trifluoropropanoate 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.
