2-Bromo-3-pentanone CAS 815-52-1 chemical structure

Description

2-Bromo-3-pentanone (CAS 815-52-1) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C5H9BrO and a molecular weight of 165.03 g/mol.

Based on its molecular formula C5H9BrO, 2-Bromo-3-pentanone contains 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 165.03 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.

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), 2-Bromo-3-pentanone 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.
