Chemical Structure

2-Bromopropionic Acid CAS 598-72-1 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 2-Bromopropionic Acid is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies 2-Bromopropionic Acid (CAS 598-72-1), a certified reference material (molecular formula C3H5BrO2, MW 152.97 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Structurally, 2-Bromopropionic Acid (C3H5BrO2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 1.0, corresponding to approximately 1 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 152.97 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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), 2-Bromopropionic 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.
