Chemical Structure

2-Bromo-4-chlorobenzonitrile CAS 57381-49-4 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 2-Bromo-4-chlorobenzonitrile is closely related to a nitrile group, chlorine/bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

2-Bromo-4-chlorobenzonitrile (CAS 57381-49-4) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C7H3BrClN and a molecular weight of 216.46 g/mol.

Structurally, 2-Bromo-4-chlorobenzonitrile (C7H3BrClN) contains a nitrile group, chlorine/bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 6.0, corresponding to approximately 6 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 216.46 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.
