Chemical Structure

4-Bromo-3-(trifluoromethyl)phenol CAS 320-49-0 chemical structure

Description

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

CATO supplies 4-Bromo-3-(trifluoromethyl)phenol (CAS 320-49-0), a certified reference material (molecular formula C7H4BrF3O, MW 241.01 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

The molecular framework of 4-Bromo-3-(trifluoromethyl)phenol (C7H4BrF3O) is characterized by a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the polarity and ionization state of its functional 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.

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.
