Chemical Structure

Ethyl 3-bromoacrylate CAS 42844-38-2 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 179.01 g/mol gives Ethyl 3-bromoacrylate distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies Ethyl 3-bromoacrylate (CAS 42844-38-2), 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, Ethyl 3-bromoacrylate 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.

This reference standard is suitable for quantitative analysis on major chromatographic platforms including HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, and GC-MS, serving as an external calibration standard or a system suitability test reference material.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Ethyl 3-bromoacrylate 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.
