Chemical Structure

Ethyl 2-(4-bromo-2-fluorophenoxy)acetate CAS 1716-83-2 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Ethyl 2-(4-bromo-2-fluorophenoxy)acetate 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.

Ethyl 2-(4-bromo-2-fluorophenoxy)acetate (CAS 1716-83-2), molecular formula C10H10BrFO3 and molecular weight 277.09 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, Ethyl 2-(4-bromo-2-fluorophenoxy)acetate (C10H10BrFO3) 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 277.09 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).

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 Ethyl 2-(4-bromo-2-fluorophenoxy)acetate 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.
