Chemical Structure

Ethyl 4-ethoxy-3-(trifluoromethyl)benzoate CAS 864178-58-5 chemical structure

Description

As a certified reference material (CRM), Ethyl 4-ethoxy-3-(trifluoromethyl)benzoate 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.

Ethyl 4-ethoxy-3-(trifluoromethyl)benzoate (CAS 864178-58-5), molecular formula C12H13F3O3 and molecular weight 262.23 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, Ethyl 4-ethoxy-3-(trifluoromethyl)benzoate (C12H13F3O3) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 5.0, corresponding to approximately 5 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 262.23 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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