Chemical Structure

1-(Benzyloxy)-4-(bromomethyl)-2-ethoxybenzene CAS 1097082-37-5 chemical structure

Description

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

CATO supplies 1-(Benzyloxy)-4-(bromomethyl)-2-ethoxybenzene (CAS 1097082-37-5), a certified reference material (molecular formula C16H17BrO2, MW 321.21 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system, 1-(Benzyloxy)-4-(bromomethyl)-2-ethoxybenzene is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 321.21 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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.
