2,4-Dibromo-17,17-ethylenedioxy-1,3,5(10)-estratriene-3,16a-diol (CAS 90474-20-7), molecular formula C20H24Br2O4 and molecular weight 488.21 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Owing to a flavonoid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, 2,4-Dibromo-17,17-ethylenedioxy-1,3,5(10)-estratriene-3,16a-diol is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 488.21 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.
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.
As a certified reference material (CRM), 2,4-Dibromo-17,17-ethylenedioxy-1,3,5(10)-estratriene-3,16a-diol meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
