1,5-Bis(bromomethyl)naphthalene CAS 21646-18-4 chemical structure

Description

CATO manufactures 1,5-Bis(bromomethyl)naphthalene under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.

1,5-Bis(bromomethyl)naphthalene (CAS 21646-18-4), molecular formula C12H10Br2 and molecular weight 314.02 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

1,5-Bis(bromomethyl)naphthalene (C12H10Br2) contains bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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