Chemical Structure

1,4-Bis(4-bromophenyl)buta-1,3-diyne CAS 959-88-6 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 1,4-Bis(4-bromophenyl)buta-1,3-diyne.

1,4-Bis(4-bromophenyl)buta-1,3-diyne (CAS 959-88-6), molecular formula C16H8Br2 and molecular weight 360.04 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to bromine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system, 1,4-Bis(4-bromophenyl)buta-1,3-diyne is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 360.04 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.

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.
