Chemical Structure

Diethyl 2-bromo-3-oxosuccinate CAS 18903-16-7 chemical structure

Description

As a certified reference material (CRM), Diethyl 2-bromo-3-oxosuccinate meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.

Diethyl 2-bromo-3-oxosuccinate (CAS 18903-16-7) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C8H11BrO5 and a molecular weight of 267.07 g/mol.

Structurally, Diethyl 2-bromo-3-oxosuccinate (C8H11BrO5) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 3.0, corresponding to approximately 3 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 267.07 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.

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.
