Chemical Structure

4,4,4-Trifluoro-3-methyl-but-2-enoic acid methyl ester CAS 671-82-9 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 4,4,4-Trifluoro-3-methyl-but-2-enoic acid methyl ester is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

4,4,4-Trifluoro-3-methyl-but-2-enoic acid methyl ester (CAS 671-82-9), molecular formula C6H7F3O2 and molecular weight 168.11 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, 4,4,4-Trifluoro-3-methyl-but-2-enoic acid methyl ester is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 168.11 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.

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

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.
