Chemical Structure

(2R,3S)-rel-2,3-Dibromo-1,4-butanediol CAS 76818-94-5 chemical structure

Description

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

CATO supplies (2R,3S)-rel-2,3-Dibromo-1,4-butanediol (CAS 76818-94-5), a certified reference material (molecular formula C4H8Br2O2, MW 247.91 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, (2R,3S)-rel-2,3-Dibromo-1,4-butanediol is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 247.91 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), (2R,3S)-rel-2,3-Dibromo-1,4-butanediol meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
