Chemical Structure

3,5-Diiodobenzyl Alcohol CAS 53279-79-1 chemical structure

Description

CATO manufactures 3,5-Diiodobenzyl 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.

3,5-Diiodobenzyl Alcohol (CAS 53279-79-1), molecular formula C7H6I2O and molecular weight 359.93 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, iodine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 3,5-Diiodobenzyl Alcohol is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 359.93 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
