Chemical Structure

1,2-Bis(5-bromo-2-hydroxyphenyl)ethane-1,2-dione CAS 523-88-6 chemical structure

Description

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.

1,2-Bis(5-bromo-2-hydroxyphenyl)ethane-1,2-dione (CAS 523-88-6) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C14H8Br2O4 and a molecular weight of 400.02 g/mol.

Structurally, 1,2-Bis(5-bromo-2-hydroxyphenyl)ethane-1,2-dione (C14H8Br2O4) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 10.0, corresponding to approximately 10 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 400.02 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-molecular-weight range. 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).

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
