Chemical Structure

Methyl 2-acetyl-5-bromopentanoate CAS CATO-C4X-172828 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 Methyl 2-acetyl-5-bromopentanoate.

Methyl 2-acetyl-5-bromopentanoate (CAS CATO-C4X-172828), molecular formula C8H13BrO3 and molecular weight 237.09 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of Methyl 2-acetyl-5-bromopentanoate (C8H13BrO3) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the polarity and ionization state of its functional groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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 2-acetyl-5-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.
