Chemical Structure

Methyl (R)-2-amino-4,4,4-trifluorobutanoate CAS 922338-26-9 chemical structure

Description

Methyl (R)-2-amino-4,4,4-trifluorobutanoate (CAS 922338-26-9) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C5H8F3NO2 and a molecular weight of 171.12 g/mol.

Owing to an amide group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, Methyl (R)-2-amino-4,4,4-trifluorobutanoate is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 171.12 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.
