Chemical Structure

3-Chloro-5-(trifluoromethyl)benzyl alcohol CAS 886496-87-3 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 3-Chloro-5-(trifluoromethyl)benzyl alcohol is closely related to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies 3-Chloro-5-(trifluoromethyl)benzyl alcohol (CAS 886496-87-3), a certified reference material (molecular formula C8H6ClF3O, MW 210.58 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Structurally, 3-Chloro-5-(trifluoromethyl)benzyl alcohol (C8H6ClF3O) contains a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 4.0, corresponding to approximately 4 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 210.58 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. 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.
