Chemical Structure

2-Bromo-5-(bromomethyl)furan CAS 251649-67-9 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 239.89 g/mol gives 2-Bromo-5-(bromomethyl)furan distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

2-Bromo-5-(bromomethyl)furan (CAS 251649-67-9), molecular formula C5H4Br2O and molecular weight 239.89 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, 2-Bromo-5-(bromomethyl)furan (C5H4Br2O) contains a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 3.0, corresponding to approximately 3 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 239.89 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.
