Chemical Structure

1-Bromomethyl-4-nitro-naphthalene CAS 16855-41-7 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 1-Bromomethyl-4-nitro-naphthalene.

1-Bromomethyl-4-nitro-naphthalene (CAS 16855-41-7), molecular formula C11H8BrNO2 and molecular weight 266.09 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Based on its molecular formula C11H8BrNO2, 1-Bromomethyl-4-nitro-naphthalene contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 266.09 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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.
