Chemical Structure

2-Bromo-4-methylhexane CAS 61653-12-1 chemical structure

Description

2-Bromo-4-methylhexane (CAS 61653-12-1), molecular formula C7H15Br and molecular weight 179.10 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to bromine substitution, 2-Bromo-4-methylhexane is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 179.10 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

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.
