The occurrence of 1-(Bromomethyl)-4,5-dichloro-2-methoxybenzene is closely related to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine/bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
1-(Bromomethyl)-4,5-dichloro-2-methoxybenzene (CAS 37420-52-3), molecular formula C8H7BrCl2O and molecular weight 269.95 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
The molecular framework of 1-(Bromomethyl)-4,5-dichloro-2-methoxybenzene (C8H7BrCl2O) is characterized by a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine/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.
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.
CATO manufactures 1-(Bromomethyl)-4,5-dichloro-2-methoxybenzene under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
