Chemical Structure

1-(2-Bromo-4-hydroxyphenyl)propan-1-one CAS 18430-73-4 chemical structure

Description

1-(2-Bromo-4-hydroxyphenyl)propan-1-one (CAS 18430-73-4), molecular formula C9H9BrO2 and molecular weight 229.07 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 1-(2-Bromo-4-hydroxyphenyl)propan-1-one is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 229.07 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 1-(2-Bromo-4-hydroxyphenyl)propan-1-one 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.
