The occurrence of 1,4-Bis(bromomethyl)-2-iodobenzene is closely related to bromine/iodine substitution, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
CATO supplies 1,4-Bis(bromomethyl)-2-iodobenzene (CAS 60017-02-9), a certified reference material (molecular formula C8H7Br2I, MW 389.85 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
1,4-Bis(bromomethyl)-2-iodobenzene (C8H7Br2I) contains bromine/iodine substitution, an aromatic ring system. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).
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.
