Chemical Structure

Ethyl 2-fluoro-5-(trifluoromethyl)benzoate CAS 773134-94-4 chemical structure

Description

As a certified reference material (CRM), Ethyl 2-fluoro-5-(trifluoromethyl)benzoate 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.

CATO supplies Ethyl 2-fluoro-5-(trifluoromethyl)benzoate (CAS 773134-94-4), a certified reference material (molecular formula C10H8F4O2, MW 236.16 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Based on its molecular formula C10H8F4O2, Ethyl 2-fluoro-5-(trifluoromethyl)benzoate contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 236.16 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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.
