Chemical Structure

2-Bromo-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzene-1-sulfonyl chloride CAS 54403-98-4 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-Bromo-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzene-1-sulfonyl chloride.

2-Bromo-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzene-1-sulfonyl chloride (CAS 54403-98-4), molecular formula C7H3BrClF3O2S and molecular weight 323.51 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/chlorine/bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 2-Bromo-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzene-1-sulfonyl chloride is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 323.51 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.

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.
