Chemical Structure

(6-Hydroxyhexyl)triphenylphosphonium bromide CAS 68760-65-6 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of (6-Hydroxyhexyl)triphenylphosphonium bromide is closely related to a steroid core, organophosphorus functionality, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

(6-Hydroxyhexyl)triphenylphosphonium bromide (CAS 68760-65-6) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C24H28OPBr and a molecular weight of 443.37 g/mol.

Owing to a steroid core, organophosphorus functionality, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, (6-Hydroxyhexyl)triphenylphosphonium bromide is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 443.37 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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), (6-Hydroxyhexyl)triphenylphosphonium bromide 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.
