Chemical Structure

3-(3-Bromo-phenoxy)-propionic acid CAS 18386-03-3 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 3-(3-Bromo-phenoxy)-propionic acid is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies 3-(3-Bromo-phenoxy)-propionic acid (CAS 18386-03-3), a certified reference material (molecular formula C9H9BrO3, MW 245.07 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

The molecular framework of 3-(3-Bromo-phenoxy)-propionic acid (C9H9BrO3) 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.

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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 3-(3-Bromo-phenoxy)-propionic acid 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.
