Chemical Structure

2-Bromo-4-methylbenzyl alcohol CAS 824-53-3 chemical structure

Description

CATO manufactures 2-Bromo-4-methylbenzyl alcohol 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.

CATO supplies 2-Bromo-4-methylbenzyl alcohol (CAS 824-53-3), a certified reference material (molecular formula C8H9BrO, MW 201.06 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Structurally, 2-Bromo-4-methylbenzyl alcohol (C8H9BrO) contains a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 4.0, corresponding to approximately 4 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 201.06 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. 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).

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