Chemical Structure

2-Bromo-3-iodopyrazine CAS 860308-71-0 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies 2-Bromo-3-iodopyrazine (CAS 860308-71-0), a certified reference material (molecular formula C4H2BrIN2, MW 284.88 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Structurally, 2-Bromo-3-iodopyrazine (C4H2BrIN2) contains a nitrile group, bromine/iodine substitution. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 4.0, corresponding to approximately 4 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 284.88 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. 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.
