Chemical Structure

Methyl 4-iodobutyrate CAS 14273-85-9 chemical structure

Description

Methyl 4-iodobutyrate (CAS 14273-85-9), molecular formula C5H9IO2 and molecular weight 228.03 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Methyl 4-iodobutyrate (C5H9IO2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, iodine substitution. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Methyl 4-iodobutyrate 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.
