Chemical Structure

2-Bromo-4-(bromomethyl)-1-methoxybenzene CAS 89978-72-3 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-Bromo-4-(bromomethyl)-1-methoxybenzene.

CATO supplies 2-Bromo-4-(bromomethyl)-1-methoxybenzene (CAS 89978-72-3), a certified reference material (molecular formula C8H8Br2O, MW 279.96 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

The molecular framework of 2-Bromo-4-(bromomethyl)-1-methoxybenzene (C8H8Br2O) is characterized by a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 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. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

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.
