Chemical Structure

2-(Bromomethyl)-3-iodonaphthalene CAS 700866-18-8 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 2-(Bromomethyl)-3-iodonaphthalene 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 2-(Bromomethyl)-3-iodonaphthalene (CAS 700866-18-8), a certified reference material (molecular formula C11H8BrI, MW 346.99 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

2-(Bromomethyl)-3-iodonaphthalene (C11H8BrI) contains bromine/iodine substitution, an aromatic ring system. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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), 2-(Bromomethyl)-3-iodonaphthalene 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.
