Chemical Structure

4-Bromo-2-(Difluoromethyl)benzyl bromide CAS 1261448-03-6 chemical structure

Description

4-Bromo-2-(Difluoromethyl)benzyl bromide (CAS 1261448-03-6), molecular formula C8H6Br2F2 and molecular weight 299.94 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to fluorine/bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 4-Bromo-2-(Difluoromethyl)benzyl bromide is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 299.94 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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), 4-Bromo-2-(Difluoromethyl)benzyl bromide 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.
