Chemical Structure

Methyl 4-bromopentanoate CAS 75411-76-6 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Methyl 4-bromopentanoate 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 4-bromopentanoate (CAS 75411-76-6), a certified reference material (molecular formula C6H11BrO2, MW 195.05 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, Methyl 4-bromopentanoate is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 195.05 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.

CATO manufactures Methyl 4-bromopentanoate 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.
