Chemical Structure

6-Bromo-2,3-dichlorophenol CAS 1940-45-0 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 6-Bromo-2,3-dichlorophenol is closely related to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine/bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies 6-Bromo-2,3-dichlorophenol (CAS 1940-45-0), a certified reference material (molecular formula C6H3BrCl2O, MW 241.90 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Structurally, 6-Bromo-2,3-dichlorophenol (C6H3BrCl2O) contains a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine/bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 4.0, corresponding to approximately 4 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 241.90 g/mol, it falls into the medium-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).

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.
