3-Bromo-4-chlorobenzoyl chloride CAS 21900-34-5 chemical structure

Description

CATO manufactures 3-Bromo-4-chlorobenzoyl 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.

3-Bromo-4-chlorobenzoyl chloride (CAS 21900-34-5) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C7H3BrCl2O and a molecular weight of 253.91 g/mol.

Based on its molecular formula C7H3BrCl2O, 3-Bromo-4-chlorobenzoyl chloride contains a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine/bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 253.91 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.
