Chemical Structure

3-Bromo-7H-benz[de]anthracene-7-one CAS 81-96-9 chemical structure

Description

3-Bromo-7H-benz[de]anthracene-7-one (CAS 81-96-9) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C17H9BrO and a molecular weight of 309.16 g/mol.

3-Bromo-7H-benz[de]anthracene-7-one (C17H9BrO) contains a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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.
