Chemical Structure

2-Bromo-1,3-difluoro-5-(trifluoromethyl)benzene CAS 499238-36-7 chemical structure

Description

2-Bromo-1,3-difluoro-5-(trifluoromethyl)benzene (CAS 499238-36-7), molecular formula C7H2BrF5 and molecular weight 260.99 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Based on its molecular formula C7H2BrF5, 2-Bromo-1,3-difluoro-5-(trifluoromethyl)benzene contains fluorine/bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 260.99 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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.

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.
