CATO supplies Ethyl 3-bromo-2-oxocyclopentane-1-carboxylate (CAS 42593-13-5), a certified reference material (molecular formula C8H11BrO3, MW 235.08 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
The molecular framework of Ethyl 3-bromo-2-oxocyclopentane-1-carboxylate (C8H11BrO3) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the polarity and ionization state of its functional groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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.
As a certified reference material (CRM), Ethyl 3-bromo-2-oxocyclopentane-1-carboxylate 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.
