Chemical Structure
Description
The occurrence of Methyl 2,4-dibromobutyrate 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 Methyl 2,4-dibromobutyrate (CAS 70288-65-2), a certified reference material (molecular formula C5H8Br2O2, MW 259.92 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, Methyl 2,4-dibromobutyrate is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 259.92 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.
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), Methyl 2,4-dibromobutyrate 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.
