Chemical Structure

Benzyl 2-(bromomethyl)benzoate CAS 115975-28-5 chemical structure

Description

Structurally, Benzyl 2-(bromomethyl)benzoate (C15H13BrO2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 9.0, corresponding to approximately 9 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 305.17 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-molecular-weight range. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

Benzyl 2-(bromomethyl)benzoate (CAS 115975-28-5) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C15H13BrO2 and a molecular weight of 305.17 g/mol.

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

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.
