Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 343.34 g/mol gives 2-(8-Bromooctyl)-5-hexylfuran distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
2-(8-Bromooctyl)-5-hexylfuran (CAS 88646-92-8), molecular formula C18H31BrO and molecular weight 343.34 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
The molecular framework of 2-(8-Bromooctyl)-5-hexylfuran (C18H31BrO) is characterized by a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).
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.
