Chemical Structure

4-Chloro-2-(trifluoromethyl)benzyl alcohol CAS 773872-13-2 chemical structure

Description

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

4-Chloro-2-(trifluoromethyl)benzyl alcohol (CAS 773872-13-2), molecular formula C8H6ClF3O and molecular weight 210.58 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of 4-Chloro-2-(trifluoromethyl)benzyl alcohol (C8H6ClF3O) is characterized by a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the polarity and ionization state of its functional groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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).

CATO manufactures 4-Chloro-2-(trifluoromethyl)benzyl alcohol under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
