Chemical Structure

2,4,6-Trifluoro-3-methoxybenzoic acid CAS 886499-94-1 chemical structure

Description

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.

2,4,6-Trifluoro-3-methoxybenzoic acid (CAS 886499-94-1), molecular formula C8H5F3O3 and molecular weight 206.12 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of 2,4,6-Trifluoro-3-methoxybenzoic acid (C8H5F3O3) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 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 aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

As a certified reference material (CRM), 2,4,6-Trifluoro-3-methoxybenzoic acid 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.
