4,4-Dibromo-2,4-dihydro-5-methyl-3H-pyrazol-3-one (CAS 33549-66-5) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C4H4Br2N2O and a molecular weight of 255.90 g/mol.
The molecular framework of 4,4-Dibromo-2,4-dihydro-5-methyl-3H-pyrazol-3-one (C4H4Br2N2O) is characterized by an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the protonation state of its nitrogen-containing groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.
As a certified reference material (CRM), 4,4-Dibromo-2,4-dihydro-5-methyl-3H-pyrazol-3-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.
