Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 178.13 g/mol gives 4-Fluoro-3-methylbenzotrifluoride distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
CATO supplies 4-Fluoro-3-methylbenzotrifluoride (CAS 74483-52-6), a certified reference material (molecular formula C8H6F4, MW 178.13 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
Owing to fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 4-Fluoro-3-methylbenzotrifluoride is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 178.13 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).
