2-(3-Bromophenyl)acetaldehyde CAS 109347-40-2 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies 2-(3-Bromophenyl)acetaldehyde (CAS 109347-40-2), a certified reference material (molecular formula C8H7BrO, MW 199.04 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Based on its molecular formula C8H7BrO, 2-(3-Bromophenyl)acetaldehyde contains 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 199.04 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 2-(3-Bromophenyl)acetaldehyde 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.
