Methyl 2-bromo-2-(triphenylphosphoranylidene)acetate CAS 13504-77-3 chemical structure

Description

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

Methyl 2-bromo-2-(triphenylphosphoranylidene)acetate (CAS 13504-77-3), molecular formula C21H18BrO2P and molecular weight 413.24 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, Methyl 2-bromo-2-(triphenylphosphoranylidene)acetate (C21H18BrO2P) contains a steroid core, organophosphorus functionality, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 12.5, corresponding to approximately 12 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 413.24 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-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).

As a certified reference material (CRM), Methyl 2-bromo-2-(triphenylphosphoranylidene)acetate 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.
