Chemical Structure

4-Bromo-3-chlorophenol CAS 13631-21-5 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 4-Bromo-3-chlorophenol is closely related to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine/bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

4-Bromo-3-chlorophenol (CAS 13631-21-5), molecular formula C6H4BrClO and molecular weight 207.45 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, 4-Bromo-3-chlorophenol (C6H4BrClO) contains a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine/bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 4.0, corresponding to approximately 4 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 207.45 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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-3-chlorophenol 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.
