2,3-Dibromo-6-(bromomethyl)naphthalene (CAS 132112-62-0), molecular formula C11H7Br3 and molecular weight 378.89 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
2,3-Dibromo-6-(bromomethyl)naphthalene (C11H7Br3) contains bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.
