methyl 2-bromo-2-[2-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]acetate (CAS 181039-99-6) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C10H8BrF3O2 and a molecular weight of 297.07 g/mol.
Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system, methyl 2-bromo-2-[2-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]acetate is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 297.07 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.
As a certified reference material (CRM), methyl 2-bromo-2-[2-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]acetate 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.
