Chemical Structure

Ethyl 2-bromo-2-fluoropropanoate CAS 108221-67-6 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies Ethyl 2-bromo-2-fluoropropanoate (CAS 108221-67-6), a certified reference material (molecular formula C5H8BrFO2, MW 199.02 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Structurally, Ethyl 2-bromo-2-fluoropropanoate (C5H8BrFO2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/bromine substitution. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 1.0, corresponding to approximately 1 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 199.02 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. 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), Ethyl 2-bromo-2-fluoropropanoate 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.
