Chemical Structure

Diethyl 2,3-dibromosuccinate CAS 608-82-2 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including Diethyl 2,3-dibromosuccinate.

Diethyl 2,3-dibromosuccinate (CAS 608-82-2) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C8H12Br2O4 and a molecular weight of 331.99 g/mol.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, Diethyl 2,3-dibromosuccinate is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 331.99 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Diethyl 2,3-dibromosuccinate meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
