Chemical Structure

5-Bromo-1,3-difluoro-2-(methoxymethyl)benzene CAS 162744-61-8 chemical structure

Description

The molecular framework of 5-Bromo-1,3-difluoro-2-(methoxymethyl)benzene (C8H7BrF2O) is characterized by a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the polarity and ionization state of its functional groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

CATO supplies 5-Bromo-1,3-difluoro-2-(methoxymethyl)benzene (CAS 162744-61-8), a certified reference material (molecular formula C8H7BrF2O, MW 237.04 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

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), 5-Bromo-1,3-difluoro-2-(methoxymethyl)benzene 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.
