Chemical Structure

2,3-Dibromobutane CAS 5408-86-6 chemical structure

Description

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

2,3-Dibromobutane (CAS 5408-86-6), molecular formula C4H8Br2 and molecular weight 215.91 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, 2,3-Dibromobutane (C4H8Br2) contains bromine substitution. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 0.0, corresponding to approximately 0 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 215.91 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

CATO manufactures 2,3-Dibromobutane 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.
