5,6-Dibromoisobenzofuran-1,3-dione CAS 65237-17-4 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 305.91 g/mol gives 5,6-Dibromoisobenzofuran-1,3-dione distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies 5,6-Dibromoisobenzofuran-1,3-dione (CAS 65237-17-4), a certified reference material (molecular formula C8H2Br2O3, MW 305.91 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

5,6-Dibromoisobenzofuran-1,3-dione (C8H2Br2O3) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system. It is notably hygroscopic, halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; 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.

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), 5,6-Dibromoisobenzofuran-1,3-dione 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.
