Chemical Structure

(R)-2-Bromo-1-(2-chlorophenyl)ethan-1-ol CAS 1212393-40-2 chemical structure

Description

(R)-2-Bromo-1-(2-chlorophenyl)ethan-1-ol (CAS 1212393-40-2), molecular formula C8H8BrClO and molecular weight 235.51 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, (R)-2-Bromo-1-(2-chlorophenyl)ethan-1-ol (C8H8BrClO) contains a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine/bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 4.0, corresponding to approximately 4 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 235.51 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

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), (R)-2-Bromo-1-(2-chlorophenyl)ethan-1-ol 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.
