4-(Bromomethyl)oxetan-2-one (CAS 33282-42-7), molecular formula C4H5BrO2 and molecular weight 164.99 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
4-(Bromomethyl)oxetan-2-one (C4H5BrO2) 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.
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.
