Chemical Structure

2,3,6,8-Tetrabromodibenzo[b,d]furan CAS 617707-89-8 chemical structure

Description

2,3,6,8-Tetrabromodibenzo[b,d]furan (CAS 617707-89-8) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C12H4Br4O and a molecular weight of 483.78 g/mol.

2,3,6,8-Tetrabromodibenzo[b,d]furan (C12H4Br4O) contains a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, an aromatic ring 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 2,3,6,8-Tetrabromodibenzo[b,d]furan 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.
