Chemical Structure

(2,4-Dibromophenoxy)acetyl chloride CAS 16738-07-1 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including (2,4-Dibromophenoxy)acetyl chloride.

(2,4-Dibromophenoxy)acetyl chloride (CAS 16738-07-1) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C8H5Br2ClO2 and a molecular weight of 328.39 g/mol.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine/bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system, (2,4-Dibromophenoxy)acetyl chloride is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 328.39 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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.

CATO manufactures (2,4-Dibromophenoxy)acetyl chloride under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
