Chemical Structure

EThyl 2-bromo-2-methyl-3-oxobutanoate CAS 32116-05-5 chemical structure

Description

EThyl 2-bromo-2-methyl-3-oxobutanoate (CAS 32116-05-5), molecular formula C7H11BrO3 and molecular weight 223.06 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, EThyl 2-bromo-2-methyl-3-oxobutanoate (C7H11BrO3) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 2.0, corresponding to approximately 2 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 223.06 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. 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.

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.
