The occurrence of Methyl 3-(5-bromo-2-hydroxyphenyl)-3-phenylpropanoate is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
Methyl 3-(5-bromo-2-hydroxyphenyl)-3-phenylpropanoate (CAS 1415562-50-3), molecular formula C16H15BrO3 and molecular weight 335.19 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Based on its molecular formula C16H15BrO3, Methyl 3-(5-bromo-2-hydroxyphenyl)-3-phenylpropanoate contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 335.19 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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.
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.
