Chemical Structure

5-bromo-2-methylpentanoic acid CAS 101257-26-5 chemical structure

Description

As a certified reference material (CRM), 5-bromo-2-methylpentanoic acid 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.

5-bromo-2-methylpentanoic acid (CAS 101257-26-5) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C6H11BrO2 and a molecular weight of 195.05 g/mol.

The molecular framework of 5-bromo-2-methylpentanoic acid (C6H11BrO2) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, 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. 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.
