Chemical Structure

(S)-2-Bromo-3-methylbutanoic acid CAS 26782-75-2 chemical structure

Description

(S)-2-Bromo-3-methylbutanoic acid (CAS 26782-75-2), molecular formula C5H9BrO2 and molecular weight 181.03 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, (S)-2-Bromo-3-methylbutanoic acid is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 181.03 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.

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

CATO manufactures (S)-2-Bromo-3-methylbutanoic 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.
