Chemical Structure

4-(Bromomethyl)benzamide CAS 58914-40-2 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 214.06 g/mol gives 4-(Bromomethyl)benzamide distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

4-(Bromomethyl)benzamide (CAS 58914-40-2), molecular formula C8H8BrNO and molecular weight 214.06 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, 4-(Bromomethyl)benzamide is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 214.06 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 4-(Bromomethyl)benzamide meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
