Chemical Structure

4-(Bromomethyl)-2,6-dimethylphenyl acetate CAS 711-95-5 chemical structure

Description

4-(Bromomethyl)-2,6-dimethylphenyl acetate (CAS 711-95-5) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C9H11BrOC2H4O2 and a molecular weight of 275.14 g/mol.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 4-(Bromomethyl)-2,6-dimethylphenyl acetate is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 275.14 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-(Bromomethyl)-2,6-dimethylphenyl acetate 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.
