Chemical Structure

2-Bromo-4-methylheptane CAS 61764-96-3 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 2-Bromo-4-methylheptane is closely related to bromine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

2-Bromo-4-methylheptane (CAS 61764-96-3) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C8H17Br and a molecular weight of 193.12 g/mol.

Structurally, 2-Bromo-4-methylheptane (C8H17Br) contains bromine substitution. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 0.0, corresponding to approximately 0 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 193.12 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. 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.

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.
