Chemical Structure

1,2-Dibromo-3-methylbenzene CAS 61563-25-5 chemical structure

Description

1,2-Dibromo-3-methylbenzene (CAS 61563-25-5), molecular formula C7H6Br2 and molecular weight 249.93 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of 1,2-Dibromo-3-methylbenzene (C7H6Br2) is characterized by bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the polarity and ionization state of its functional groups, 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.

CATO manufactures 1,2-Dibromo-3-methylbenzene under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
