Chemical Structure

2-(Bromomethyl)-2-methyloxirane CAS 49847-47-4 chemical structure

Description

2-(Bromomethyl)-2-methyloxirane (CAS 49847-47-4), molecular formula C4H7BrO and molecular weight 151.00 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Based on its molecular formula C4H7BrO, 2-(Bromomethyl)-2-methyloxirane contains a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution; these features give the compound characteristic functional-group stretching vibrations in infrared spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 151.00 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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), 2-(Bromomethyl)-2-methyloxirane 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.
