Chemical Structure

(4-(4-(Trifluoromethyl)phenoxy)phenyl)methanol CAS 933786-79-9 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of (4-(4-(Trifluoromethyl)phenoxy)phenyl)methanol is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies (4-(4-(Trifluoromethyl)phenoxy)phenyl)methanol (CAS 933786-79-9), a certified reference material (molecular formula C14H11F3O2, MW 268.23 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system, (4-(4-(Trifluoromethyl)phenoxy)phenyl)methanol is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 268.23 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 (4-(4-(Trifluoromethyl)phenoxy)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.
