Chemical Structure

(2-(4-Bromophenoxy)phenyl)methanol CAS 74744-79-9 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of (2-(4-Bromophenoxy)phenyl)methanol is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

(2-(4-Bromophenoxy)phenyl)methanol (CAS 74744-79-9), molecular formula C13H11BrO2 and molecular weight 279.13 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, (2-(4-Bromophenoxy)phenyl)methanol (C13H11BrO2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 8.0, corresponding to approximately 8 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 279.13 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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.
