Chemical Structure

Ethyl 2-bromotetradecanoate CAS 14980-92-8 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Ethyl 2-bromotetradecanoate is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

Ethyl 2-bromotetradecanoate (CAS 14980-92-8), molecular formula C16H31BrO2 and molecular weight 335.32 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Ethyl 2-bromotetradecanoate (C16H31BrO2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution. 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. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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.

CATO manufactures Ethyl 2-bromotetradecanoate 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.
