4-(2-Bromoethoxy)-2-methyl-1-(propan-2-yl)benzene (CAS 731802-21-4), molecular formula C12H17BrO and molecular weight 257.17 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
4-(2-Bromoethoxy)-2-methyl-1-(propan-2-yl)benzene (C12H17BrO) contains a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 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.
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.
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.
