Chemical Structure

(3-Bromo-5-(bromomethyl)phenyl)methanol CAS 1261775-41-0 chemical structure

Description

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.

(3-Bromo-5-(bromomethyl)phenyl)methanol (CAS 1261775-41-0) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C8H8Br2O and a molecular weight of 279.96 g/mol.

Based on its molecular formula C8H8Br2O, (3-Bromo-5-(bromomethyl)phenyl)methanol contains a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 279.96 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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.
