Chemical Structure

Methyl 2-bromo-4-chloro-5-iodobenzoate CAS 1208077-68-2 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 Methyl 2-bromo-4-chloro-5-iodobenzoate.

Methyl 2-bromo-4-chloro-5-iodobenzoate (CAS 1208077-68-2), molecular formula C8H5BrClIO2 and molecular weight 375.39 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of Methyl 2-bromo-4-chloro-5-iodobenzoate (C8H5BrClIO2) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine/bromine/iodine 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. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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.

CATO manufactures Methyl 2-bromo-4-chloro-5-iodobenzoate under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
