Chemical Structure

tert-Butyl (2-bromo-4-trifluoromethylphenoxy)acetate CAS 779331-60-1 chemical structure

Description

As a certified reference material (CRM), tert-Butyl (2-bromo-4-trifluoromethylphenoxy)acetate 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.

tert-Butyl (2-bromo-4-trifluoromethylphenoxy)acetate (CAS 779331-60-1) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C13H14BrF3O3 and a molecular weight of 355.15 g/mol.

The molecular framework of tert-Butyl (2-bromo-4-trifluoromethylphenoxy)acetate (C13H14BrF3O3) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/bromine 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.

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.
