Chemical Structure

2-Bromo-1-(bromomethyl)-4-tert-butylbenzene CAS 246139-76-4 chemical structure

Description

The molecular framework of 2-Bromo-1-(bromomethyl)-4-tert-butylbenzene (C11H14Br2) is characterized by bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), 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.

2-Bromo-1-(bromomethyl)-4-tert-butylbenzene (CAS 246139-76-4), molecular formula C11H14Br2 and molecular weight 306.04 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 2-Bromo-1-(bromomethyl)-4-tert-butylbenzene 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.
