Chemical Structure

5-(Bromomethyl)-2-fluorobenzaldehyde CAS 1820717-85-8 chemical structure

Description

Owing to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 5-(Bromomethyl)-2-fluorobenzaldehyde is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 217.04 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

5-(Bromomethyl)-2-fluorobenzaldehyde (CAS 1820717-85-8), molecular formula C8H6BrFO and molecular weight 217.04 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

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

As a certified reference material (CRM), 5-(Bromomethyl)-2-fluorobenzaldehyde 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.
