Chemical Structure

(3-(Methoxymethyl)benzyl)triphenylphosphonium bromide CAS 15323-30-5 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of (3-(Methoxymethyl)benzyl)triphenylphosphonium bromide is closely related to a steroid core, organophosphorus functionality, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

(3-(Methoxymethyl)benzyl)triphenylphosphonium bromide (CAS 15323-30-5), molecular formula C27H26OPBr and molecular weight 477.38 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a steroid core, organophosphorus functionality, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, (3-(Methoxymethyl)benzyl)triphenylphosphonium bromide is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 477.38 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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.

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.
