Chemical Structure

2-(bromomethyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene CAS 77508-59-9 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 2-(bromomethyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene is closely related to bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies 2-(bromomethyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene (CAS 77508-59-9), a certified reference material (molecular formula C11H13Br, MW 225.12 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 2-(bromomethyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene is typically off-white to pale yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 225.12 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 2-(bromomethyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene 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.
