Chemical Structure

3-Bromo-2-chloro-4H-chromen-4-one CAS 20875-92-7 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies 3-Bromo-2-chloro-4H-chromen-4-one (CAS 20875-92-7), a certified reference material (molecular formula C9H4BrClO2, MW 259.48 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Structurally, 3-Bromo-2-chloro-4H-chromen-4-one (C9H4BrClO2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine/bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 7.0, corresponding to approximately 7 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 259.48 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).

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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 3-Bromo-2-chloro-4H-chromen-4-one meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
