Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 222.16 g/mol gives (2-Methoxy-4-(trifluoromethoxy)phenyl)methanol distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
(2-Methoxy-4-(trifluoromethoxy)phenyl)methanol (CAS 886500-30-7), molecular formula C9H9F3O3 and molecular weight 222.16 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, (2-Methoxy-4-(trifluoromethoxy)phenyl)methanol is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 222.16 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.
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.
CATO manufactures (2-Methoxy-4-(trifluoromethoxy)phenyl)methanol under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
