Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 263.56 g/mol gives 4-bromo-2-(chloromethyl)-1-propoxybenzene distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
4-bromo-2-(chloromethyl)-1-propoxybenzene (CAS 7017-50-7), molecular formula C10H12BrClO and molecular weight 263.56 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Owing to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine/bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 4-bromo-2-(chloromethyl)-1-propoxybenzene is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 263.56 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.
Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
As a certified reference material (CRM), 4-bromo-2-(chloromethyl)-1-propoxybenzene 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.
