Chemical Structure

1-(4-Bromophenyl)-4-chloro-1-butanone CAS 4559-96-0 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 261.54 g/mol gives 1-(4-Bromophenyl)-4-chloro-1-butanone distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

1-(4-Bromophenyl)-4-chloro-1-butanone (CAS 4559-96-0) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C10H10BrClO and a molecular weight of 261.54 g/mol.

Owing to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine/bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 1-(4-Bromophenyl)-4-chloro-1-butanone is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 261.54 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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

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.
