Chemical Structure

6-Bromo-3-ethylhexan-3-ol CAS 68275-10-5 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 6-Bromo-3-ethylhexan-3-ol is closely related to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

6-Bromo-3-ethylhexan-3-ol (CAS 68275-10-5), molecular formula C8H17BrO and molecular weight 209.12 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, 6-Bromo-3-ethylhexan-3-ol is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 209.12 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.

CATO manufactures 6-Bromo-3-ethylhexan-3-ol 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.
