Chemical Structure

2-Bromo-4-nitrobenzoic Acid CAS 16426-64-5 chemical structure

Description

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 supplies 2-Bromo-4-nitrobenzoic Acid (CAS 16426-64-5), a certified reference material (molecular formula C7H4BrNO4, MW 246.01 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

2-Bromo-4-nitrobenzoic Acid (C7H4BrNO4) contains an amide group, 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, 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).

As a certified reference material (CRM), 2-Bromo-4-nitrobenzoic Acid 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.
