Chemical Structure

Benzene, 1-(2-bromoethyl)-4-(phenylmethoxy)- CAS 52446-52-3 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Benzene, 1-(2-bromoethyl)-4-(phenylmethoxy)- is closely related to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

Benzene, 1-(2-bromoethyl)-4-(phenylmethoxy)- (CAS 52446-52-3), molecular formula C15H15BrO and molecular weight 291.18 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of Benzene, 1-(2-bromoethyl)-4-(phenylmethoxy)- (C15H15BrO) is characterized by a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), 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.

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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Benzene, 1-(2-bromoethyl)-4-(phenylmethoxy)- meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
