Chemical Structure

Phenol, 2,4-dibromo-, polymer with 2-(chloromethyl)oxirane CAS 68958-21-4 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Phenol, 2,4-dibromo-, polymer with 2-(chloromethyl)oxirane is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine/bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

Phenol, 2,4-dibromo-, polymer with 2-(chloromethyl)oxirane (CAS 68958-21-4) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C6H4Br2OC3H5ClO and a molecular weight of 344.43 g/mol.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine/bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system, Phenol, 2,4-dibromo-, polymer with 2-(chloromethyl)oxirane is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 344.43 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.

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
