Ethyl 5-(2-bromo-5-fluorophenoxy)pentanoate (CAS 1443354-04-8), molecular formula C13H16BrFO3 and molecular weight 319.17 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Ethyl 5-(2-bromo-5-fluorophenoxy)pentanoate (C13H16BrFO3) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system. It is notably hygroscopic, halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.
CATO manufactures Ethyl 5-(2-bromo-5-fluorophenoxy)pentanoate under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
