2,6-Bis(bromomethyl)anthracene CAS 138308-91-5 chemical structure

Description

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

2,6-Bis(bromomethyl)anthracene (CAS 138308-91-5) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C16H12Br2 and a molecular weight of 364.07 g/mol.

Owing to bromine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system, 2,6-Bis(bromomethyl)anthracene is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 364.07 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

CATO manufactures 2,6-Bis(bromomethyl)anthracene 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.
