Chemical Structure

1-(3-Bromopropyl)-2-methylbenzene CAS 21851-78-5 chemical structure

Description

1-(3-Bromopropyl)-2-methylbenzene (CAS 21851-78-5), molecular formula C10H13Br and molecular weight 213.11 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, 1-(3-Bromopropyl)-2-methylbenzene (C10H13Br) contains bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 4.0, corresponding to approximately 4 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 213.11 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. 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.

CATO manufactures 1-(3-Bromopropyl)-2-methylbenzene 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.
