Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 310.96 g/mol gives 1-(Bromomethyl)-2-iodo-3-methylbenzene distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
1-(Bromomethyl)-2-iodo-3-methylbenzene (CAS 99848-41-6), molecular formula C8H8BrI and molecular weight 310.96 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
The molecular framework of 1-(Bromomethyl)-2-iodo-3-methylbenzene (C8H8BrI) is characterized by bromine/iodine 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.
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.
CATO manufactures 1-(Bromomethyl)-2-iodo-3-methylbenzene under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
