Methyl 3-Bromopropiolate CAS 23680-40-2 chemical structure

Description

Methyl 3-Bromopropiolate (CAS 23680-40-2) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C4H3BrO2 and a molecular weight of 162.97 g/mol.

Methyl 3-Bromopropiolate (C4H3BrO2) 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), Methyl 3-Bromopropiolate 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.
