Chemical Structure

4-Bromo-2,6-dimethylbenzoyl chloride CAS 74346-20-6 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 247.52 g/mol gives 4-Bromo-2,6-dimethylbenzoyl chloride distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

4-Bromo-2,6-dimethylbenzoyl chloride (CAS 74346-20-6), molecular formula C9H8BrClO and molecular weight 247.52 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of 4-Bromo-2,6-dimethylbenzoyl chloride (C9H8BrClO) is characterized by a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine/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. 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), 4-Bromo-2,6-dimethylbenzoyl chloride 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.
