Chemical Structure

1-(1-Bromoethyl)-2,4-dimethylbenzene CAS 20871-92-5 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 1-(1-Bromoethyl)-2,4-dimethylbenzene is closely related to bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

1-(1-Bromoethyl)-2,4-dimethylbenzene (CAS 20871-92-5) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C10H13Br and a molecular weight of 213.11 g/mol.

Owing to bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 1-(1-Bromoethyl)-2,4-dimethylbenzene is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 213.11 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).

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.
