Chemical Structure

1-Bromo-5-chloro-2-pentanone CAS 59554-91-5 chemical structure

Description

The molecular framework of 1-Bromo-5-chloro-2-pentanone (C5H8BrClO) is characterized by a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine/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.

1-Bromo-5-chloro-2-pentanone (CAS 59554-91-5), molecular formula C5H8BrClO and molecular weight 199.47 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

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), 1-Bromo-5-chloro-2-pentanone 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.
