Chemical Structure

2-(2-Bromo-4-chlorophenyl)ethan-1-ol CAS 52864-57-0 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 2-(2-Bromo-4-chlorophenyl)ethan-1-ol.

CATO supplies 2-(2-Bromo-4-chlorophenyl)ethan-1-ol (CAS 52864-57-0), a certified reference material (molecular formula C8H8BrClO, MW 235.51 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine/bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 2-(2-Bromo-4-chlorophenyl)ethan-1-ol is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 235.51 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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).

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.

CATO manufactures 2-(2-Bromo-4-chlorophenyl)ethan-1-ol 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.
