CATO supplies methyl 5-(bromomethyl)-2-chlorobenzoate (CAS 16220-99-8), a certified reference material (molecular formula C9H14BrClO2, MW 269.56 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
The molecular framework of methyl 5-(bromomethyl)-2-chlorobenzoate (C9H14BrClO2) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine/bromine substitution. 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 methyl 5-(bromomethyl)-2-chlorobenzoate 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.
