Chemical Structure

Ethyl 2-(3-bromo-4-methoxyphenyl)acetate CAS 100125-96-0 chemical structure

Description

Ethyl 2-(3-bromo-4-methoxyphenyl)acetate (CAS 100125-96-0), molecular formula C11H13BrO3 and molecular weight 273.12 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system, Ethyl 2-(3-bromo-4-methoxyphenyl)acetate is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 273.12 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

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 Ethyl 2-(3-bromo-4-methoxyphenyl)acetate 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.
