Chemical Structure

1-(4-Bromophenyl)-2-p-tolylethane-1,2-dione CAS 40396-75-6 chemical structure

Description

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.

1-(4-Bromophenyl)-2-p-tolylethane-1,2-dione (CAS 40396-75-6), molecular formula C15H11BrO2 and molecular weight 303.15 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

1-(4-Bromophenyl)-2-p-tolylethane-1,2-dione (C15H11BrO2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; 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.

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.
