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.
2-(bromomethyl)-1,4-dimethylbenzene (CAS 50837-53-1), molecular formula C9H17Br and molecular weight 205.14 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
The molecular framework of 2-(bromomethyl)-1,4-dimethylbenzene (C9H17Br) is characterized by bromine substitution. 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. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.
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.
