Chemical Structure

2-(Bromomethyl)-2-methyltetrahydrofuran CAS 85870-23-1 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.

2-(Bromomethyl)-2-methyltetrahydrofuran (CAS 85870-23-1), molecular formula C6H11BrO and molecular weight 179.05 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, 2-(Bromomethyl)-2-methyltetrahydrofuran is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 179.05 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.

CATO manufactures 2-(Bromomethyl)-2-methyltetrahydrofuran 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.
