Chemical Structure

1-Bromo-4-(2-phenylmethoxyethyl)benzene CAS 170991-34-1 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 1-Bromo-4-(2-phenylmethoxyethyl)benzene is closely related to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

1-Bromo-4-(2-phenylmethoxyethyl)benzene (CAS 170991-34-1), molecular formula C15H15BrO and molecular weight 291.18 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

1-Bromo-4-(2-phenylmethoxyethyl)benzene (C15H15BrO) contains a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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.

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.
