Chemical Structure
Description
As a certified reference material (CRM), Ethyl Bromofluoroacetate 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.
Ethyl Bromofluoroacetate (CAS 401-55-8), molecular formula C4H6BrFO2 and molecular weight 184.99 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Structurally, Ethyl Bromofluoroacetate (C4H6BrFO2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/bromine substitution. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 1.0, corresponding to approximately 1 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 184.99 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.
