Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 2,2-Bis(Bromomethyl)-1,3-Propanediol.
CATO supplies 2,2-Bis(Bromomethyl)-1,3-Propanediol (CAS 3296-90-0), a certified reference material (molecular formula C5H10Br2O2, MW 261.94 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
2,2-Bis(Bromomethyl)-1,3-Propanediol (C5H10Br2O2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution. 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.
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.
