Chemical Structure

2,4-Dibromo-butyric acid CAS 63164-16-9 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 245.90 g/mol gives 2,4-Dibromo-butyric acid distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

2,4-Dibromo-butyric acid (CAS 63164-16-9) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C4H6Br2O2 and a molecular weight of 245.90 g/mol.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, 2,4-Dibromo-butyric acid is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 245.90 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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), 2,4-Dibromo-butyric 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.
