Chemical Structure

2,5-Bis(trifluoromethyl)phenol CAS 779-88-4 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies 2,5-Bis(trifluoromethyl)phenol (CAS 779-88-4), a certified reference material (molecular formula C8H4F6O, MW 230.11 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Structurally, 2,5-Bis(trifluoromethyl)phenol (C8H4F6O) contains a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 4.0, corresponding to approximately 4 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 230.11 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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

As a certified reference material (CRM), 2,5-Bis(trifluoromethyl)phenol 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.
