Chemical Structure

6-Bromo-2-hydroxynaphthalene-1,4-dione CAS 14848-40-9 chemical structure

Description

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.

6-Bromo-2-hydroxynaphthalene-1,4-dione (CAS 14848-40-9) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C10H5BrO3 and a molecular weight of 253.05 g/mol.

Based on its molecular formula C10H5BrO3, 6-Bromo-2-hydroxynaphthalene-1,4-dione contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 253.05 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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