Chemical Structure

3- Bromo- 2- oxopropanenitrile CAS 70688-35-6 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 3- Bromo- 2- oxopropanenitrile is closely related to an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

3- Bromo- 2- oxopropanenitrile (CAS 70688-35-6), molecular formula C3H2BrNO and molecular weight 147.96 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, 3- Bromo- 2- oxopropanenitrile (C3H2BrNO) contains an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 3.0, corresponding to approximately 3 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 147.96 g/mol, it falls into the low-molecular-weight range. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

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.
