Methyl 2-(benzo[d][1,3]dioxol-5-yl)-2-bromoacetate CAS 158692-25-2 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Methyl 2-(benzo[d][1,3]dioxol-5-yl)-2-bromoacetate is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

Methyl 2-(benzo[d][1,3]dioxol-5-yl)-2-bromoacetate (CAS 158692-25-2) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C10H9BrO4 and a molecular weight of 273.08 g/mol.

Methyl 2-(benzo[d][1,3]dioxol-5-yl)-2-bromoacetate (C10H9BrO4) 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, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Methyl 2-(benzo[d][1,3]dioxol-5-yl)-2-bromoacetate 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.
