Chemical Structure

(2-Bromophenyl)(4-fluorophenyl)methanol CAS 59142-67-5 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies (2-Bromophenyl)(4-fluorophenyl)methanol (CAS 59142-67-5), a certified reference material (molecular formula C13H10BrFO, MW 281.12 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

The molecular framework of (2-Bromophenyl)(4-fluorophenyl)methanol (C13H10BrFO) is characterized by a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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), (2-Bromophenyl)(4-fluorophenyl)methanol 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.
