Chemical Structure

2-(4-Bromophenyl)-3-hydroxy-1H-inden-1-one CAS 81397-85-5 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 2-(4-Bromophenyl)-3-hydroxy-1H-inden-1-one.

2-(4-Bromophenyl)-3-hydroxy-1H-inden-1-one (CAS 81397-85-5), molecular formula C15H9BrO2 and molecular weight 301.13 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system, 2-(4-Bromophenyl)-3-hydroxy-1H-inden-1-one is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 301.13 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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.
