CATO supplies (2E)-1,3-Bis(4-bromophenyl)prop-2-en-1-one (CAS 5471-96-5), a certified reference material (molecular formula C15H10Br2O, MW 366.05 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
(2E)-1,3-Bis(4-bromophenyl)prop-2-en-1-one (C15H10Br2O) contains a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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.
CATO manufactures (2E)-1,3-Bis(4-bromophenyl)prop-2-en-1-one 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.
