Chemical Structure

Bromochloroacetic Acid CAS 5589-96-8 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Bromochloroacetic Acid is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine/bromine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

Bromochloroacetic Acid (CAS 5589-96-8) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C2H2BrClO2 and a molecular weight of 173.39 g/mol.

Bromochloroacetic Acid (C2H2BrClO2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine/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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Bromochloroacetic Acid 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.
