Chemical Structure

1-(Chloromethyl)-3-(trifluoromethoxy)benzene CAS 89807-43-2 chemical structure

Description

1-(Chloromethyl)-3-(trifluoromethoxy)benzene (CAS 89807-43-2), molecular formula C8H6ClF3O and molecular weight 210.58 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 1-(Chloromethyl)-3-(trifluoromethoxy)benzene is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 210.58 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.

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

CATO manufactures 1-(Chloromethyl)-3-(trifluoromethoxy)benzene 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.
