Chemical Structure

Bis(4-bromobenzoyl) Peroxide CAS 1712-82-9 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Bis(4-bromobenzoyl) Peroxide is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

Bis(4-bromobenzoyl) Peroxide (CAS 1712-82-9) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C14H8Br2O4 and a molecular weight of 400.02 g/mol.

Structurally, Bis(4-bromobenzoyl) Peroxide (C14H8Br2O4) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 10.0, corresponding to approximately 10 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 400.02 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-molecular-weight range. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

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.

CATO manufactures Bis(4-bromobenzoyl) Peroxide 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.
