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.
1,3,4-Trifluoro-2-methyl-5-trifluoromethyl-benzene (CAS 933674-91-0) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C8H4F6 and a molecular weight of 214.11 g/mol.
Owing to fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 1,3,4-Trifluoro-2-methyl-5-trifluoromethyl-benzene is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 214.11 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.
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.
