Chemical Structure

3-(3-(Trifluoromethyl)benzyl)pentane-2,4-dione CAS 691406-19-6 chemical structure

Description

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 3-(3-(Trifluoromethyl)benzyl)pentane-2,4-dione is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 258.24 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).

3-(3-(Trifluoromethyl)benzyl)pentane-2,4-dione (CAS 691406-19-6), molecular formula C13H13F3O2 and molecular weight 258.24 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.
