Chemical Structure

5-((2,4,6-Tribromophenoxy)methyl)furan-2-carbaldehyde CAS 438221-12-6 chemical structure

Description

5-((2,4,6-Tribromophenoxy)methyl)furan-2-carbaldehyde (CAS 438221-12-6) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C12H7Br3O3 and a molecular weight of 438.89 g/mol.

Structurally, 5-((2,4,6-Tribromophenoxy)methyl)furan-2-carbaldehyde (C12H7Br3O3) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 8.0, corresponding to approximately 8 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 438.89 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-molecular-weight range. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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.
