Chemical Structure

2-(Bromomethyl)-4,4-difluorotetrahydrofuran CAS 2167315-60-6 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 2-(Bromomethyl)-4,4-difluorotetrahydrofuran is closely related to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/bromine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

2-(Bromomethyl)-4,4-difluorotetrahydrofuran (CAS 2167315-60-6), molecular formula C5H7BrF2O and molecular weight 201.01 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of 2-(Bromomethyl)-4,4-difluorotetrahydrofuran (C5H7BrF2O) is characterized by a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/bromine substitution. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the polarity and ionization state of its functional groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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.
