Chemical Structure

Methyl 3-bromo-2-chloro-6-fluorobenzoate CAS 1784053-31-1 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including Methyl 3-bromo-2-chloro-6-fluorobenzoate.

Methyl 3-bromo-2-chloro-6-fluorobenzoate (CAS 1784053-31-1), molecular formula C8H5BrClFO2 and molecular weight 267.48 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/chlorine/bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system, Methyl 3-bromo-2-chloro-6-fluorobenzoate is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 267.48 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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.

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
