Chemical Structure

4-Bromo-2-methoxybenzyl alcohol CAS 17102-63-5 chemical structure

Description

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

4-Bromo-2-methoxybenzyl alcohol (CAS 17102-63-5), molecular formula C8H15BrO2 and molecular weight 223.11 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of 4-Bromo-2-methoxybenzyl alcohol (C8H15BrO2) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution. 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 4-Bromo-2-methoxybenzyl alcohol 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.
