Chemical Structure

1-(Iodomethyl)-4-methylbenzene CAS 4484-74-6 chemical structure

Description

1-(Iodomethyl)-4-methylbenzene (CAS 4484-74-6) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C8H9I and a molecular weight of 232.06 g/mol.

Owing to iodine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 1-(Iodomethyl)-4-methylbenzene is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 232.06 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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

CATO manufactures 1-(Iodomethyl)-4-methylbenzene 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.
