Chemical Structure

Butyl 2,3-dibromopropanoate CAS 21179-48-6 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including Butyl 2,3-dibromopropanoate.

Butyl 2,3-dibromopropanoate (CAS 21179-48-6), molecular formula C7H12Br2O2 and molecular weight 287.98 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Butyl 2,3-dibromopropanoate (C7H12Br2O2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 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.

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), Butyl 2,3-dibromopropanoate 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.
