The occurrence of (5-bromo-2-fluorophenyl)(phenyl)methanone is closely related to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
(5-bromo-2-fluorophenyl)(phenyl)methanone (CAS 885124-16-3), molecular formula C13H8BrFO and molecular weight 279.10 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Owing to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system, (5-bromo-2-fluorophenyl)(phenyl)methanone is typically pale yellow to yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 279.10 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.
Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
As a certified reference material (CRM), (5-bromo-2-fluorophenyl)(phenyl)methanone meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
