Chemical Structure

2-Bromo-2’,6’-difluoroacetophenone CAS 56159-89-8 chemical structure

Description

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.

2-Bromo-2’,6’-difluoroacetophenone (CAS 56159-89-8), molecular formula C8H5BrF2O and molecular weight 235.03 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

2-Bromo-2’,6’-difluoroacetophenone (C8H5BrF2O) contains a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point; 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.

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.
