Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 229.03 g/mol gives 2-Bromo-3-formylbenzoic acid distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
CATO supplies 2-Bromo-3-formylbenzoic acid (CAS 1289208-00-9), a certified reference material (molecular formula C8H5BrO3, MW 229.03 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
2-Bromo-3-formylbenzoic acid (C8H5BrO3) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 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. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).
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.
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.
