Chemical Structure

Methyl 3-Bromo-6-cyano-2-methylbenzoate CAS 1805488-00-9 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 254.08 g/mol gives Methyl 3-Bromo-6-cyano-2-methylbenzoate distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

Methyl 3-Bromo-6-cyano-2-methylbenzoate (CAS 1805488-00-9), molecular formula C10H8BrNO2 and molecular weight 254.08 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Based on its molecular formula C10H8BrNO2, Methyl 3-Bromo-6-cyano-2-methylbenzoate contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 254.08 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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.
