Chemical Structure

2-(Bromomethyl)-1-chloro-3-fluoro-4-methylbenzene CAS 261762-88-3 chemical structure

Description

Structurally, 2-(Bromomethyl)-1-chloro-3-fluoro-4-methylbenzene (C8H7BrClF) contains fluorine/chlorine/bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 4.0, corresponding to approximately 4 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 237.50 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

CATO supplies 2-(Bromomethyl)-1-chloro-3-fluoro-4-methylbenzene (CAS 261762-88-3), a certified reference material (molecular formula C8H7BrClF, MW 237.50 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

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.

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
