Chemical Structure

2-Bromo-6-(tert-butyl)-4-methylphenol CAS 1516-93-4 chemical structure

Description

As a certified reference material (CRM), 2-Bromo-6-(tert-butyl)-4-methylphenol 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.

CATO supplies 2-Bromo-6-(tert-butyl)-4-methylphenol (CAS 1516-93-4), a certified reference material (molecular formula C11H15BrO, MW 243.14 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Structurally, 2-Bromo-6-(tert-butyl)-4-methylphenol (C11H15BrO) contains a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 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 243.14 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

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.
