The occurrence of 1-Bromo-2-(dimethoxymethyl)-4,5-dimethoxybenzene is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
1-Bromo-2-(dimethoxymethyl)-4,5-dimethoxybenzene (CAS 70461-33-5) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C11H15BrO4 and a molecular weight of 291.14 g/mol.
Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 1-Bromo-2-(dimethoxymethyl)-4,5-dimethoxybenzene is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 291.14 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).
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), 1-Bromo-2-(dimethoxymethyl)-4,5-dimethoxybenzene 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.
