Chemical Structure

3,5-Dibromo-4-(hydroxymethyl)phenol CAS 861779-75-1 chemical structure

Description

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

CATO supplies 3,5-Dibromo-4-(hydroxymethyl)phenol (CAS 861779-75-1), a certified reference material (molecular formula C7H6Br2O2, MW 281.93 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Based on its molecular formula C7H6Br2O2, 3,5-Dibromo-4-(hydroxymethyl)phenol contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 281.93 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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.
