Structurally, (E)-2-Bromo-4,4,4-trifluoro-2-butenoic acid ethyl ester (C6H6BrF3O2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/bromine substitution. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 2.0, corresponding to approximately 2 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 247.01 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.
CATO supplies (E)-2-Bromo-4,4,4-trifluoro-2-butenoic acid ethyl ester (CAS 138778-57-1), a certified reference material (molecular formula C6H6BrF3O2, MW 247.01 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
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.
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.
