2-Bromo-1-(2,3,4-trichlorophenyl)ethan-1-one (C8H4BrCl3O) contains a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine/bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.
2-Bromo-1-(2,3,4-trichlorophenyl)ethan-1-one (CAS 79779-66-1), molecular formula C8H4BrCl3O and molecular weight 302.38 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
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.
