The occurrence of 5-Bromo-3-chlorophthalic acid is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine/bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
CATO supplies 5-Bromo-3-chlorophthalic acid (CAS 1192548-76-7), a certified reference material (molecular formula C8H4BrClO4, MW 279.47 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
5-Bromo-3-chlorophthalic acid (C8H4BrClO4) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine/bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system. It is notably hygroscopic, halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.
