Methyl 5-bromo-2-hydroxypentanoate CAS 61427-27-8 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including Methyl 5-bromo-2-hydroxypentanoate.

CATO supplies Methyl 5-bromo-2-hydroxypentanoate (CAS 61427-27-8), a certified reference material (molecular formula C6H11BrO3, MW 211.05 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Structurally, Methyl 5-bromo-2-hydroxypentanoate (C6H11BrO3) 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 211.05 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.

CATO manufactures Methyl 5-bromo-2-hydroxypentanoate under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
