Chemical Structure

Methyl (E)-3-Bromo-2-methylacrylate CAS 40053-01-8 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 179.01 g/mol gives Methyl (E)-3-Bromo-2-methylacrylate distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies Methyl (E)-3-Bromo-2-methylacrylate (CAS 40053-01-8), a certified reference material (molecular formula C5H7BrO2, MW 179.01 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, Methyl (E)-3-Bromo-2-methylacrylate is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 179.01 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.

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.
