Chemical Structure

4-bromo-2-(chloromethyl)-1-methoxybenzene CAS 7017-52-9 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 4-bromo-2-(chloromethyl)-1-methoxybenzene is closely related to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine/bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

4-bromo-2-(chloromethyl)-1-methoxybenzene (CAS 7017-52-9) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C8H8BrClO and a molecular weight of 235.51 g/mol.

Owing to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine/bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 4-bromo-2-(chloromethyl)-1-methoxybenzene is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 235.51 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.
