Chemical Structure

1,2-Dimethyl-3-(trifluoromethyl)benzene CAS 80245-28-9 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 174.16 g/mol gives 1,2-Dimethyl-3-(trifluoromethyl)benzene distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies 1,2-Dimethyl-3-(trifluoromethyl)benzene (CAS 80245-28-9), a certified reference material (molecular formula C9H9F3, MW 174.16 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

The molecular framework of 1,2-Dimethyl-3-(trifluoromethyl)benzene (C9H9F3) is characterized by fluorine 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).

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.

CATO manufactures 1,2-Dimethyl-3-(trifluoromethyl)benzene 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.
