The occurrence of 2-Bromo-1-(2-chloro-5-fluorophenyl)ethanone is closely related to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/chlorine/bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
CATO supplies 2-Bromo-1-(2-chloro-5-fluorophenyl)ethanone (CAS 76609-34-2), a certified reference material (molecular formula C8H5BrClFO, MW 251.48 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
The molecular framework of 2-Bromo-1-(2-chloro-5-fluorophenyl)ethanone (C8H5BrClFO) is characterized by a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/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.
CATO manufactures 2-Bromo-1-(2-chloro-5-fluorophenyl)ethanone under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
