Chemical Structure

4-(Bromomethyl)phenol CAS 27079-92-1 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 4-(Bromomethyl)phenol is closely related to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

4-(Bromomethyl)phenol (CAS 27079-92-1) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C7H7BrO and a molecular weight of 187.03 g/mol.

Based on its molecular formula C7H7BrO, 4-(Bromomethyl)phenol contains a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 187.03 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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

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.
