Chemical Structure

(2-Bromo-2-phenylethyl)benzene CAS 16766-97-5 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-Bromo-2-phenylethyl)benzene.

(2-Bromo-2-phenylethyl)benzene (CAS 16766-97-5) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C14H13Br and a molecular weight of 261.16 g/mol.

The molecular framework of (2-Bromo-2-phenylethyl)benzene (C14H13Br) is characterized by bromine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), 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.

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), (2-Bromo-2-phenylethyl)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.
