Chemical Structure

4-(Bromomethyl)-5-(hydroxymethyl)-2H-1,3-dioxol-2-one CAS 209551-44-0 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 4-(Bromomethyl)-5-(hydroxymethyl)-2H-1,3-dioxol-2-one is closely related to a carbohydrate-derived structure, bromine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

4-(Bromomethyl)-5-(hydroxymethyl)-2H-1,3-dioxol-2-one (CAS 209551-44-0), molecular formula C5H5BrO4 and molecular weight 208.99 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of 4-(Bromomethyl)-5-(hydroxymethyl)-2H-1,3-dioxol-2-one (C5H5BrO4) is characterized by a carbohydrate-derived structure, bromine substitution. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the polarity and ionization state of its functional groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 4-(Bromomethyl)-5-(hydroxymethyl)-2H-1,3-dioxol-2-one 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.
