Chemical Structure

2,2,2-Trifluoro-1-(m-tolyl)ethyl trifluoromethanesulfonate CAS 666836-32-4 chemical structure

Description

2,2,2-Trifluoro-1-(m-tolyl)ethyl trifluoromethanesulfonate (CAS 666836-32-4) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C10H8F6O3S and a molecular weight of 322.22 g/mol.

Owing to a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 2,2,2-Trifluoro-1-(m-tolyl)ethyl trifluoromethanesulfonate is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 322.22 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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.
