Chemical Structure

1,4-Dibromo-2,5-bis((2-ethylhexyl)oxy)benzene CAS 191867-85-3 chemical structure

Description

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.

1,4-Dibromo-2,5-bis((2-ethylhexyl)oxy)benzene (CAS 191867-85-3) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C22H36Br2O2 and a molecular weight of 492.33 g/mol.

Owing to a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, 1,4-Dibromo-2,5-bis((2-ethylhexyl)oxy)benzene is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 492.33 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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).

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.
