Chemical Structure

1,2,4,5-Tetrakis(bromomethyl)-3,6-dimethoxybenzene CAS 104157-20-2 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies 1,2,4,5-Tetrakis(bromomethyl)-3,6-dimethoxybenzene (CAS 104157-20-2), a certified reference material (molecular formula C12H14Br4O2, MW 509.85 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Based on its molecular formula C12H14Br4O2, 1,2,4,5-Tetrakis(bromomethyl)-3,6-dimethoxybenzene contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 509.85 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 1,2,4,5-Tetrakis(bromomethyl)-3,6-dimethoxybenzene meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
