Chemical Structure

Methyl 2-Bromobutyrate CAS 3196-15-4 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 Methyl 2-Bromobutyrate.

CATO supplies Methyl 2-Bromobutyrate (CAS 3196-15-4), a certified reference material (molecular formula C5H9BrO2, MW 181.03 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Based on its molecular formula C5H9BrO2, Methyl 2-Bromobutyrate contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution; these features give the compound characteristic functional-group stretching vibrations in infrared spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 181.03 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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 Methyl 2-Bromobutyrate 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.
