Chemical Structure

2-(Bromomethyl)-1-methoxy-3-methylbenzene CAS 89244-40-6 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 2-(Bromomethyl)-1-methoxy-3-methylbenzene.

2-(Bromomethyl)-1-methoxy-3-methylbenzene (CAS 89244-40-6), molecular formula C9H11BrO and molecular weight 215.09 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 2-(Bromomethyl)-1-methoxy-3-methylbenzene is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 215.09 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.

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.

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.
