Chemical Structure

1-(4-Bromo-3,5-dimethylphenyl)ethanone CAS 53379-61-6 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 1-(4-Bromo-3,5-dimethylphenyl)ethanone is closely related to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

1-(4-Bromo-3,5-dimethylphenyl)ethanone (CAS 53379-61-6) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C10H11BrO and a molecular weight of 227.10 g/mol.

Owing to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 1-(4-Bromo-3,5-dimethylphenyl)ethanone is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 227.10 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.
