2-Bromo-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzyl Alcohol (CAS 497959-33-8) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C8H6BrF3O and a molecular weight of 255.03 g/mol.
The molecular framework of 2-Bromo-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzyl Alcohol (C8H6BrF3O) is characterized by a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/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. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).
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 2-Bromo-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzyl Alcohol 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.
