Chemical Structure

3-(4-(Trifluoromethyl)phenyl)pentanedioic acid CAS 848611-89-2 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 276.21 g/mol gives 3-(4-(Trifluoromethyl)phenyl)pentanedioic acid distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

3-(4-(Trifluoromethyl)phenyl)pentanedioic acid (CAS 848611-89-2), molecular formula C12H11F3O4 and molecular weight 276.21 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

3-(4-(Trifluoromethyl)phenyl)pentanedioic acid (C12H11F3O4) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. It is notably hygroscopic, halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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.

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.
