Chemical Structure

5-(Benzyloxy)-2-bromo-1,3-dimethylbenzene CAS 95741-44-9 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies 5-(Benzyloxy)-2-bromo-1,3-dimethylbenzene (CAS 95741-44-9), a certified reference material (molecular formula C15H15BrO, MW 291.18 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

5-(Benzyloxy)-2-bromo-1,3-dimethylbenzene (C15H15BrO) contains a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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.
