Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 267.20 g/mol gives 6-[4-(Trifluoromethoxy)phenyl]-3-pyridinecarbaldehyde distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
CATO supplies 6-[4-(Trifluoromethoxy)phenyl]-3-pyridinecarbaldehyde (CAS 851069-97-1), a certified reference material (molecular formula C13H8F3NO2, MW 267.20 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, 6-[4-(Trifluoromethoxy)phenyl]-3-pyridinecarbaldehyde is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 267.20 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).
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.
