Chemical Structure

4-Bromo-2,6-difluorobenzyl Alcohol CAS 162744-59-4 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 4-Bromo-2,6-difluorobenzyl Alcohol is closely related to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies 4-Bromo-2,6-difluorobenzyl Alcohol (CAS 162744-59-4), a certified reference material (molecular formula C7H5BrF2O, MW 223.01 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 4-Bromo-2,6-difluorobenzyl Alcohol is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 223.01 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).

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

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.
