Chemical Structure

Ethyl 2-bromoacrylate CAS 5459-35-8 chemical structure

Description

Ethyl 2-bromoacrylate (CAS 5459-35-8), molecular formula C5H7BrO2 and molecular weight 179.01 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of Ethyl 2-bromoacrylate (C5H7BrO2) 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.

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 2-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.
