Chemical Structure

3-Bromo-4-methyl-benzoyl chloride CAS 21900-33-4 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 3-Bromo-4-methyl-benzoyl chloride is closely related to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine/bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

3-Bromo-4-methyl-benzoyl chloride (CAS 21900-33-4), molecular formula C8H6BrClO and molecular weight 233.49 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

3-Bromo-4-methyl-benzoyl chloride (C8H6BrClO) contains a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine/bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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 3-Bromo-4-methyl-benzoyl chloride 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.
