Product Information

• Name: 2,4-Bis(trifluoromethyl)benzoic acid

Description

2,4-Bis(trifluoromethyl)benzoic acid (2,4-BTFBA) is a styrene derivative that can be used as a matrix in the preparation of polystyrene for MALDI mass spectrometry analysis. 2,4-BTFBA is a monomer that has been shown to lead to high yields and transfer in the production of polystyrene and poly(methyl methacrylate). It has also been found to be an effective inhibitor of 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid (DHBA) and other DHBA derivatives. The inhibition mechanism of 2,4-BTFBA on DHBA activity is not yet clear. The nature of this compound as well as its use in matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization are still under investigation.
