Chemical Structure

5-bromo-4-oxo-pentanoic acid CAS 14594-23-1 chemical structure

Description

The molecular framework of 5-bromo-4-oxo-pentanoic acid (C5H7BrO3) 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.
