Chemical Structure

2-Bromo-4-fluorobenzaldehyde CAS 59142-68-6 chemical structure

Description

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.

CATO supplies 2-Bromo-4-fluorobenzaldehyde (CAS 59142-68-6), a certified reference material (molecular formula C7H4BrFO, MW 203.01 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 2-Bromo-4-fluorobenzaldehyde is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 203.01 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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.
