Chemical Structure

Methyl 4-Bromobutyrate CAS 4897-84-1 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 181.03 g/mol gives Methyl 4-Bromobutyrate distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

Methyl 4-Bromobutyrate (CAS 4897-84-1) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C5H9BrO2 and a molecular weight of 181.03 g/mol.

Methyl 4-Bromobutyrate (C5H9BrO2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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.

CATO manufactures Methyl 4-Bromobutyrate under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
