Chemical Structure

2,2,2-Tribromoethane-1,1-diol CAS 507-42-6 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 2,2,2-Tribromoethane-1,1-diol is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

2,2,2-Tribromoethane-1,1-diol (CAS 507-42-6) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C2H3Br3O2 and a molecular weight of 298.76 g/mol.

2,2,2-Tribromoethane-1,1-diol (C2H3Br3O2) 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.

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.
