Chemical Structure

4-Bromo-2,3,5,6-tetrafluorobenzonitrile CAS 17823-40-4 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 4-Bromo-2,3,5,6-tetrafluorobenzonitrile.

CATO supplies 4-Bromo-2,3,5,6-tetrafluorobenzonitrile (CAS 17823-40-4), a certified reference material (molecular formula C7H6BrF4N, MW 260.03 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Structurally, 4-Bromo-2,3,5,6-tetrafluorobenzonitrile (C7H6BrF4N) contains a nitrile group, fluorine/bromine substitution. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 3.0, corresponding to approximately 3 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 260.03 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. 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.

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.
