Chemical Structure

(2-Bromoethyl)triphenylphosphonium bromide CAS 7301-93-1 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 450.15 g/mol gives (2-Bromoethyl)triphenylphosphonium bromide distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

(2-Bromoethyl)triphenylphosphonium bromide (CAS 7301-93-1), molecular formula C20H19BrPBr and molecular weight 450.15 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, (2-Bromoethyl)triphenylphosphonium bromide (C20H19BrPBr) contains organophosphorus functionality, bromine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 10.5, corresponding to approximately 10 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 450.15 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-molecular-weight range. 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.
