Chemical Structure

3,3-Dibromo-2-oxopropanoic acid CAS 600-35-1 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 245.85 g/mol gives 3,3-Dibromo-2-oxopropanoic acid distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

3,3-Dibromo-2-oxopropanoic acid (CAS 600-35-1), molecular formula C3H2Br2O3 and molecular weight 245.85 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, 3,3-Dibromo-2-oxopropanoic acid (C3H2Br2O3) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 2.0, corresponding to approximately 2 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 245.85 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.

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.

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
