Chemical Structure

tert-Butyl 2-(4-bromophenyl)-2-oxoacetate CAS 1279017-84-3 chemical structure

Description

tert-Butyl 2-(4-bromophenyl)-2-oxoacetate (CAS 1279017-84-3) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C12H13BrO3 and a molecular weight of 285.13 g/mol.

Structurally, tert-Butyl 2-(4-bromophenyl)-2-oxoacetate (C12H13BrO3) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 6.0, corresponding to approximately 6 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 285.13 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. 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).

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.
