Chemical Structure

2-Bromo-5-(trifluoromethyl)benzophenone CAS 2378-47-4 chemical structure

Description

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

2-Bromo-5-(trifluoromethyl)benzophenone (CAS 2378-47-4), molecular formula C14H8BrF3O and molecular weight 329.11 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Based on its molecular formula C14H8BrF3O, 2-Bromo-5-(trifluoromethyl)benzophenone contains a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/bromine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 329.11 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 2-Bromo-5-(trifluoromethyl)benzophenone meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
