Chemical Structure

Ethyl 5-fluoro-2-(trifluoromethyl)benzoate CAS 773135-32-3 chemical structure

Description

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.

Ethyl 5-fluoro-2-(trifluoromethyl)benzoate (CAS 773135-32-3) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C10H8F4O2 and a molecular weight of 236.16 g/mol.

The molecular framework of Ethyl 5-fluoro-2-(trifluoromethyl)benzoate (C10H8F4O2) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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