Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 306.15 g/mol gives 2-Bromo-4-phenyl-nicotinic acid ethyl ester distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
CATO supplies 2-Bromo-4-phenyl-nicotinic acid ethyl ester (CAS 1237962-71-8), a certified reference material (molecular formula C14H12BrNO2, MW 306.15 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, 2-Bromo-4-phenyl-nicotinic acid ethyl ester is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 306.15 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.
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.
As a certified reference material (CRM), 2-Bromo-4-phenyl-nicotinic acid ethyl ester meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
