2-(Bromomethyl)anthracene (CAS 31124-71-7), molecular formula C15H11Br and molecular weight 271.15 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Structurally, 2-(Bromomethyl)anthracene (C15H11Br) contains bromine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 10.0, corresponding to approximately 10 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 271.15 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).
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.
