3-Bromo-4-methyl-5-(trifluoromethyl)benzonitrile (CAS 2383004-77-9), molecular formula C9H5BrF3N and molecular weight 264.04 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
The molecular framework of 3-Bromo-4-methyl-5-(trifluoromethyl)benzonitrile (C9H5BrF3N) is characterized by a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, fluorine/bromine substitution. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the protonation state of its nitrogen-containing groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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), 3-Bromo-4-methyl-5-(trifluoromethyl)benzonitrile 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.
