Chemical Structure

2-(Bromomethyl)-4-methyl-1-(trifluoromethyl)benzene CAS 886502-86-9 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 2-(Bromomethyl)-4-methyl-1-(trifluoromethyl)benzene is closely related to fluorine/bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

2-(Bromomethyl)-4-methyl-1-(trifluoromethyl)benzene (CAS 886502-86-9), molecular formula C9H8BrF3 and molecular weight 253.06 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of 2-(Bromomethyl)-4-methyl-1-(trifluoromethyl)benzene (C9H8BrF3) is characterized by fluorine/bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the polarity and ionization state of its functional groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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.
