Chemical Structure

2-Bromo-5-methylfuran CAS 123837-09-2 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 161.00 g/mol gives 2-Bromo-5-methylfuran distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

2-Bromo-5-methylfuran (CAS 123837-09-2) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C5H5BrO and a molecular weight of 161.00 g/mol.

2-Bromo-5-methylfuran (C5H5BrO) contains a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 2-Bromo-5-methylfuran meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
