Chemical Structure

2-(Dibromomethyl)naphthalene CAS 189693-08-1 chemical structure

Description

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.

CATO supplies 2-(Dibromomethyl)naphthalene (CAS 189693-08-1), a certified reference material (molecular formula C11H8Br2, MW 299.99 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Based on its molecular formula C11H8Br2, 2-(Dibromomethyl)naphthalene contains bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 299.99 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.

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.
