Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 4-(Bromomethyl)-2,2-difluoro-2h-1,3-benzodioxole.
4-(Bromomethyl)-2,2-difluoro-2h-1,3-benzodioxole (CAS 72769-05-2), molecular formula C8H5BrF2O2 and molecular weight 251.02 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
The molecular framework of 4-(Bromomethyl)-2,2-difluoro-2h-1,3-benzodioxole (C8H5BrF2O2) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the polarity and ionization state of its functional groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.
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)-2,2-difluoro-2h-1,3-benzodioxole 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.
