Chemical Structure

2-Bromo-3-methoxybenzaldehyde CAS 10401-18-0 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 215.04 g/mol gives 2-Bromo-3-methoxybenzaldehyde distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies 2-Bromo-3-methoxybenzaldehyde (CAS 10401-18-0), a certified reference material (molecular formula C8H7BrO2, MW 215.04 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

The molecular framework of 2-Bromo-3-methoxybenzaldehyde (C8H7BrO2) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system. 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. 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 2-Bromo-3-methoxybenzaldehyde 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.
