Chemical Structure

1,3-Dibromo-3-methylbutan-2-one CAS 1518-06-5 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.

1,3-Dibromo-3-methylbutan-2-one (CAS 1518-06-5), molecular formula C5H8Br2O and molecular weight 243.92 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, 1,3-Dibromo-3-methylbutan-2-one (C5H8Br2O) contains a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 1.0, corresponding to approximately 1 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 243.92 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. 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.
