Chemical Structure

2-Bromo-5-(trifluoromethyl)benzyl Alcohol CAS 869725-53-1 chemical structure

Description

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.

2-Bromo-5-(trifluoromethyl)benzyl Alcohol (CAS 869725-53-1) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C8H6BrF3O and a molecular weight of 255.03 g/mol.

2-Bromo-5-(trifluoromethyl)benzyl Alcohol (C8H6BrF3O) contains a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/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. 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).

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.
