CATO supplies 3-(4-Bromophenyl)-3,4-dichloropropiophenone (CAS 898761-92-7), a certified reference material (molecular formula C15H11BrCl2O, MW 358.06 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
Owing to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine/bromine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system, 3-(4-Bromophenyl)-3,4-dichloropropiophenone is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 358.06 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.
Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
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.
