(1R,2S)-1,2-dibromo-1,2-diphenylethane (CAS 13440-24-9), molecular formula C14H12Br2 and molecular weight 340.05 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
The molecular framework of (1R,2S)-1,2-dibromo-1,2-diphenylethane (C14H12Br2) is characterized by bromine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.
As a certified reference material (CRM), (1R,2S)-1,2-dibromo-1,2-diphenylethane 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.
