Chemical Structure
Description
The occurrence of 5-Bromo-2-methylbenzyl Chloride is closely related to chlorine/bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
5-Bromo-2-methylbenzyl Chloride (CAS 87604-18-0), molecular formula C8H8BrCl and molecular weight 219.51 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Structurally, 5-Bromo-2-methylbenzyl Chloride (C8H8BrCl) contains chlorine/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 219.51 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. 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.
CATO manufactures 5-Bromo-2-methylbenzyl Chloride 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.
