Chemical Structure

1,1-Dibromo-2,2-diethoxyethane CAS 761-17-1 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 275.97 g/mol gives 1,1-Dibromo-2,2-diethoxyethane distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies 1,1-Dibromo-2,2-diethoxyethane (CAS 761-17-1), a certified reference material (molecular formula C6H12Br2O2, MW 275.97 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, 1,1-Dibromo-2,2-diethoxyethane is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 275.97 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.
