Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 370.97 g/mol gives Methyl 5-bromo-3-iodo-2-methoxybenzoate distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
Methyl 5-bromo-3-iodo-2-methoxybenzoate (CAS 1155261-81-6), molecular formula C9H8BrIO3 and molecular weight 370.97 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/iodine substitution, an aromatic ring system, Methyl 5-bromo-3-iodo-2-methoxybenzoate is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 370.97 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).
