Chemical Structure

6,8-Dibromo-2H-chromen-2-one CAS 21524-15-2 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 6,8-Dibromo-2H-chromen-2-one.

6,8-Dibromo-2H-chromen-2-one (CAS 21524-15-2) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C9H4Br2O2 and a molecular weight of 303.93 g/mol.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 6,8-Dibromo-2H-chromen-2-one is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 303.93 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.

CATO manufactures 6,8-Dibromo-2H-chromen-2-one under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
