1-(Bromomethyl)-4-chloronaphthalene CAS 79996-98-8 chemical structure

Description

1-(Bromomethyl)-4-chloronaphthalene (CAS 79996-98-8) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C11H8BrCl and a molecular weight of 255.54 g/mol.

Owing to chlorine/bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 1-(Bromomethyl)-4-chloronaphthalene is typically off-white to pale yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 255.54 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

CATO manufactures 1-(Bromomethyl)-4-chloronaphthalene 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.
