Chemical Structure

(4-Methylbenzyl)triphenylphosphonium bromide CAS 2378-86-1 chemical structure

Description

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.

(4-Methylbenzyl)triphenylphosphonium bromide (CAS 2378-86-1), molecular formula C26H24PBr and molecular weight 447.36 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to organophosphorus functionality, bromine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system, (4-Methylbenzyl)triphenylphosphonium bromide is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 447.36 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

As a certified reference material (CRM), (4-Methylbenzyl)triphenylphosphonium bromide 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.
