5-Bromodihydrouracil CAS 1193-76-6 chemical structure

Description

5-Bromodihydrouracil (CAS 1193-76-6), molecular formula C4H5BrN2O2 and molecular weight 193.00 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

5-Bromodihydrouracil (C4H5BrN2O2) contains an amide group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution. It is notably hygroscopic, halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

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.
