Chemical Structure

2,5-Dibromo-3-methylfuran CAS 89284-16-2 chemical structure

Description

2,5-Dibromo-3-methylfuran (CAS 89284-16-2) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C5H4Br2O and a molecular weight of 239.89 g/mol.

The molecular framework of 2,5-Dibromo-3-methylfuran (C5H4Br2O) is characterized by a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the polarity and ionization state of its functional groups, 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).

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.
