Chemical Structure

Ethyl 5-bromo-2,2-dimethylpentanoate CAS 77858-42-5 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 Ethyl 5-bromo-2,2-dimethylpentanoate.

Ethyl 5-bromo-2,2-dimethylpentanoate (CAS 77858-42-5) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C9H17BrO2 and a molecular weight of 237.13 g/mol.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, Ethyl 5-bromo-2,2-dimethylpentanoate is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 237.13 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), Ethyl 5-bromo-2,2-dimethylpentanoate 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.
