Chemical Structure

4-Bromo-3-(bromomethyl)isothiazole CAS 4576-96-9 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 4-Bromo-3-(bromomethyl)isothiazole is closely related to a nitrile group, sulfur-containing functionality, bromine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

4-Bromo-3-(bromomethyl)isothiazole (CAS 4576-96-9) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C4H3Br2NS and a molecular weight of 256.95 g/mol.

Owing to a nitrile group, sulfur-containing functionality, bromine substitution, 4-Bromo-3-(bromomethyl)isothiazole is typically white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 256.95 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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.

CATO manufactures 4-Bromo-3-(bromomethyl)isothiazole under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
