2-(Bromomethyl)-1-(chloromethyl)naphthalene CAS 72953-44-7 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 2-(Bromomethyl)-1-(chloromethyl)naphthalene.

CATO supplies 2-(Bromomethyl)-1-(chloromethyl)naphthalene (CAS 72953-44-7), a certified reference material (molecular formula C12H10BrCl, MW 269.56 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

2-(Bromomethyl)-1-(chloromethyl)naphthalene (C12H10BrCl) contains chlorine/bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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.

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
