Chemical Structure

4-(4-Bromobenzyl)phenol CAS 855358-62-2 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 4-(4-Bromobenzyl)phenol is closely related to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

4-(4-Bromobenzyl)phenol (CAS 855358-62-2), molecular formula C13H11BrO and molecular weight 263.13 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

4-(4-Bromobenzyl)phenol (C13H11BrO) contains a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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.
