Chemical Structure

3-(3,4,5-Trifluorobenzoyl)thiophene CAS 898771-66-9 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 3-(3,4,5-Trifluorobenzoyl)thiophene is closely related to sulfur-containing functionality, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

3-(3,4,5-Trifluorobenzoyl)thiophene (CAS 898771-66-9), molecular formula C11H5F3OS and molecular weight 242.22 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to sulfur-containing functionality, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 3-(3,4,5-Trifluorobenzoyl)thiophene is typically pale yellow to yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 242.22 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

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.
