Chemical Structure

6,8-Dibromo-4-hydroxy-2H-chromen-2-one CAS 288399-84-8 chemical structure

Description

6,8-Dibromo-4-hydroxy-2H-chromen-2-one (CAS 288399-84-8) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C9H4Br2O3 and a molecular weight of 319.93 g/mol.

6,8-Dibromo-4-hydroxy-2H-chromen-2-one (C9H4Br2O3) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system. It is notably hygroscopic, halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 6,8-Dibromo-4-hydroxy-2H-chromen-2-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.
