Chemical Structure

2-(Bromomethyl)-3-methylnaphthalene CAS 39171-57-8 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 2-(Bromomethyl)-3-methylnaphthalene.

2-(Bromomethyl)-3-methylnaphthalene (CAS 39171-57-8), molecular formula C12H11Br and molecular weight 235.12 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

2-(Bromomethyl)-3-methylnaphthalene (C12H11Br) contains bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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

As a certified reference material (CRM), 2-(Bromomethyl)-3-methylnaphthalene meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
