Chemical Structure
Description
Methyl 2-bromo-3-oxobutanoate (C5H7BrO3) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution. It is notably hygroscopic, 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.
Methyl 2-bromo-3-oxobutanoate (CAS 3600-18-8) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C5H7BrO3 and a molecular weight of 195.01 g/mol.
Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
As a certified reference material (CRM), Methyl 2-bromo-3-oxobutanoate 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.
