Chemical Structure

Methyl bromodichloroacetate CAS 20428-76-6 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.

Methyl bromodichloroacetate (CAS 20428-76-6) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C3H3BrCl2O2 and a molecular weight of 221.86 g/mol.

Methyl bromodichloroacetate (C3H3BrCl2O2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine/bromine substitution. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Methyl bromodichloroacetate 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.
