Chemical Structure

2-Bromo-6-fluoro-3-methoxybenzoic acid CAS 1532387-46-4 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 249.03 g/mol gives 2-Bromo-6-fluoro-3-methoxybenzoic acid distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

2-Bromo-6-fluoro-3-methoxybenzoic acid (CAS 1532387-46-4) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C8H6BrFO3 and a molecular weight of 249.03 g/mol.

The molecular framework of 2-Bromo-6-fluoro-3-methoxybenzoic acid (C8H6BrFO3) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the polarity and ionization state of its functional groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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.

CATO manufactures 2-Bromo-6-fluoro-3-methoxybenzoic acid under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
