Chemical Structure

2,3,5,6-Tetrabromo-4-chlorophenol CAS 20188-28-7 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 2,3,5,6-Tetrabromo-4-chlorophenol.

2,3,5,6-Tetrabromo-4-chlorophenol (CAS 20188-28-7), molecular formula C6HBr4ClO and molecular weight 444.14 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine/bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 2,3,5,6-Tetrabromo-4-chlorophenol is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 444.14 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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.
