Chemical Structure

Methyl 5-bromo-4-fluoro-2-methylbenzoate CAS 1564624-36-7 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Methyl 5-bromo-4-fluoro-2-methylbenzoate is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

Methyl 5-bromo-4-fluoro-2-methylbenzoate (CAS 1564624-36-7), molecular formula C9H8BrFO2 and molecular weight 247.06 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, Methyl 5-bromo-4-fluoro-2-methylbenzoate (C9H8BrFO2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 5.0, corresponding to approximately 5 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 247.06 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.
