Chemical Structure

(2S,3R)-2-BROMO-3-METHYLPENTANOIC ACID CAS 21582-41-2 chemical structure

Description

(2S,3R)-2-BROMO-3-METHYLPENTANOIC ACID (CAS 21582-41-2), molecular formula C6H11BrO2 and molecular weight 195.05 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, (2S,3R)-2-BROMO-3-METHYLPENTANOIC ACID is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 195.05 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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.

CATO manufactures (2S,3R)-2-BROMO-3-METHYLPENTANOIC ACID under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
