Chemical Structure

Dimethyl 2-bromo-2-(bromomethyl)succinate CAS 99523-16-7 chemical structure

Description

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, Dimethyl 2-bromo-2-(bromomethyl)succinate is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 317.96 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.

CATO supplies Dimethyl 2-bromo-2-(bromomethyl)succinate (CAS 99523-16-7), a certified reference material (molecular formula C7H10Br2O4, MW 317.96 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
