2-Bromo-2,2-difluoroacetic anhydride (CAS 7601-98-1), molecular formula C4Br2F4O3 and molecular weight 331.84 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
2-Bromo-2,2-difluoroacetic anhydride (C4Br2F4O3) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/bromine substitution. It is notably hygroscopic, halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.
CATO manufactures 2-Bromo-2,2-difluoroacetic anhydride 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.
