Chemical Structure

3-Bromo-5-chloro-4-methoxybenzoic acid CAS 1092308-33-2 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 3-Bromo-5-chloro-4-methoxybenzoic acid.

3-Bromo-5-chloro-4-methoxybenzoic acid (CAS 1092308-33-2) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C8H6BrClO3 and a molecular weight of 265.49 g/mol.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine/bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 3-Bromo-5-chloro-4-methoxybenzoic acid is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 265.49 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.

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.
