Chemical Structure

2-Bromo-1-(4-(tert-butyl)phenyl)propan-1-one CAS 77565-38-9 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 2-Bromo-1-(4-(tert-butyl)phenyl)propan-1-one.

2-Bromo-1-(4-(tert-butyl)phenyl)propan-1-one (CAS 77565-38-9) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C13H17BrO and a molecular weight of 269.18 g/mol.

Owing to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 2-Bromo-1-(4-(tert-butyl)phenyl)propan-1-one is typically off-white to pale yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 269.18 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

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.
