4-Bromo-2-fluoro-1-(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)benzene CAS 1256841-61-8 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 4-Bromo-2-fluoro-1-(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)benzene is closely related to fluorine/bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

4-Bromo-2-fluoro-1-(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)benzene (CAS 1256841-61-8), molecular formula C8H5BrF4 and molecular weight 257.02 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, 4-Bromo-2-fluoro-1-(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)benzene (C8H5BrF4) contains fluorine/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 257.02 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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

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.
