The occurrence of 2-bromo-1-(furan-2-yl)propan-1-one is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
CATO supplies 2-bromo-1-(furan-2-yl)propan-1-one (CAS 4208-46-2), a certified reference material (molecular formula C7H7BrO2, MW 203.03 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
Based on its molecular formula C7H7BrO2, 2-bromo-1-(furan-2-yl)propan-1-one contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 203.03 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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).
