Chemical Structure

Bromoacetic Acid CAS 79-08-3 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Bromoacetic Acid 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.

Bromoacetic Acid (CAS 79-08-3) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C2H3BrO2 and a molecular weight of 138.95 g/mol.

Based on its molecular formula C2H3BrO2, Bromoacetic Acid contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution; these features give the compound characteristic functional-group stretching vibrations in infrared spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 138.95 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.
