Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 2-(Bromomethyl)-6-fluoronaphthalene.
2-(Bromomethyl)-6-fluoronaphthalene (CAS 581-72-6) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C11H8BrF and a molecular weight of 239.08 g/mol.
Owing to fluorine/bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 2-(Bromomethyl)-6-fluoronaphthalene is typically off-white to pale yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 239.08 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.
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.
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.
