Chemical Structure

2’-(Benzyloxy)-4’-bromoacetophenone CAS 161385-97-3 chemical structure

Description

2’-(Benzyloxy)-4’-bromoacetophenone (CAS 161385-97-3), molecular formula C15H13BrO2 and molecular weight 305.17 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system, 2’-(Benzyloxy)-4’-bromoacetophenone is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 305.17 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 2’-(Benzyloxy)-4’-bromoacetophenone 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.
