Chemical Structure

(4-Bromo-2-(bromomethyl)phenyl)methanol CAS 1261724-98-4 chemical structure

Description

(4-Bromo-2-(bromomethyl)phenyl)methanol (CAS 1261724-98-4), molecular formula C8H8Br2O and molecular weight 279.96 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of (4-Bromo-2-(bromomethyl)phenyl)methanol (C8H8Br2O) is characterized by a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 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).

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-(bromomethyl)phenyl)methanol 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.
