Chemical Structure

4-(4-Bromophenoxy)phenol CAS 13320-48-4 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 4-(4-Bromophenoxy)phenol is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

4-(4-Bromophenoxy)phenol (CAS 13320-48-4) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C12H9BrO2 and a molecular weight of 265.10 g/mol.

The molecular framework of 4-(4-Bromophenoxy)phenol (C12H9BrO2) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), 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.

CATO manufactures 4-(4-Bromophenoxy)phenol under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
