Chemical Structure

3,4-Dibromofuran CAS 32460-02-9 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 3,4-Dibromofuran is closely related to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

3,4-Dibromofuran (CAS 32460-02-9), molecular formula C4H2Br2O and molecular weight 225.87 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, 3,4-Dibromofuran is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 225.87 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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.

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.
