Chemical Structure

1-(Bromomethyl)-4-chloro-2-methylbenzene CAS 122488-73-7 chemical structure

Description

The molecular framework of 1-(Bromomethyl)-4-chloro-2-methylbenzene (C8H8BrCl) is characterized by chlorine/bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the polarity and ionization state of its functional groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

CATO supplies 1-(Bromomethyl)-4-chloro-2-methylbenzene (CAS 122488-73-7), a certified reference material (molecular formula C8H8BrCl, MW 219.51 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
