2,7-Bis(bromomethyl)-9,9-dihexyl-9H-fluorene (CAS 187148-75-0), molecular formula C27H36Br2 and molecular weight 520.38 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Structurally, 2,7-Bis(bromomethyl)-9,9-dihexyl-9H-fluorene (C27H36Br2) contains bromine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 9.0, corresponding to approximately 9 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 520.38 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-molecular-weight range. 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.
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.
