The occurrence of 1,2-Bis(bromomethyl)-4,5-dimethylbenzene is closely related to bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
1,2-Bis(bromomethyl)-4,5-dimethylbenzene (CAS 60070-06-6), molecular formula C10H12Br2 and molecular weight 292.01 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
The molecular framework of 1,2-Bis(bromomethyl)-4,5-dimethylbenzene (C10H12Br2) is characterized by 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), 1,2-Bis(bromomethyl)-4,5-dimethylbenzene 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.
