(3E)-3-{[4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]methylidene}-3,4-dihydro-2H-1-benzopyran-4-one CAS 796862-19-6 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including (3E)-3-{[4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]methylidene}-3,4-dihydro-2H-1-benzopyran-4-one.

(3E)-3-{[4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]methylidene}-3,4-dihydro-2H-1-benzopyran-4-one (CAS 796862-19-6), molecular formula C17H11F3O2 and molecular weight 304.26 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, (3E)-3-{[4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]methylidene}-3,4-dihydro-2H-1-benzopyran-4-one is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 304.26 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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).

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

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.
