Chemical Structure

Ethyl 4-Bromo-3-methylbenzoate CAS 160313-69-9 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies Ethyl 4-Bromo-3-methylbenzoate (CAS 160313-69-9), a certified reference material (molecular formula C10H11BrO2, MW 243.10 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Ethyl 4-Bromo-3-methylbenzoate (C10H11BrO2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system. 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. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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

As a certified reference material (CRM), Ethyl 4-Bromo-3-methylbenzoate 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.
