Chemical Structure

3-Bromo-2-(difluoromethoxy)benzaldehyde CAS 1249999-12-9 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 3-Bromo-2-(difluoromethoxy)benzaldehyde.

CATO supplies 3-Bromo-2-(difluoromethoxy)benzaldehyde (CAS 1249999-12-9), a certified reference material (molecular formula C8H5BrF2O2, MW 251.02 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 3-Bromo-2-(difluoromethoxy)benzaldehyde is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 251.02 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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), 3-Bromo-2-(difluoromethoxy)benzaldehyde 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.
