Chemical Structure

5-Bromo-4,4,5,5-tetrafluoropentanoic acid CAS 234443-22-2 chemical structure

Description

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 supplies 5-Bromo-4,4,5,5-tetrafluoropentanoic acid (CAS 234443-22-2), a certified reference material (molecular formula C5H5BrF4O2, MW 252.99 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

5-Bromo-4,4,5,5-tetrafluoropentanoic acid (C5H5BrF4O2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/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.

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
