Chemical Structure

Ethyl 5-bromo-4-oxopentanoate CAS 14594-25-3 chemical structure

Description

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

CATO supplies Ethyl 5-bromo-4-oxopentanoate (CAS 14594-25-3), a certified reference material (molecular formula C7H11BrO3, MW 223.06 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Based on its molecular formula C7H11BrO3, Ethyl 5-bromo-4-oxopentanoate contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution; these features give the compound characteristic functional-group stretching vibrations in infrared spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 223.06 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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.
