Methyl 3-bromo-2-oxo-2H-pyran-5-carboxylate (CAS 42933-07-3), molecular formula C7H5BrO4 and molecular weight 233.02 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
The molecular framework of Methyl 3-bromo-2-oxo-2H-pyran-5-carboxylate (C7H5BrO4) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system. 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. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).
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 3-bromo-2-oxo-2H-pyran-5-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.
