Chemical Structure

3-Bromo-2-hydroxy-5-methylbenzoic acid CAS 17746-75-7 chemical structure

Description

The molecular framework of 3-Bromo-2-hydroxy-5-methylbenzoic acid (C8H7BrO3) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system. 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.
