Chemical Structure

Methyl 2-(4-bromo-2,6-dimethylphenyl)acetate CAS 186748-52-7 chemical structure

Description

Based on its molecular formula C11H13BrO2, Methyl 2-(4-bromo-2,6-dimethylphenyl)acetate contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 257.12 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.

Methyl 2-(4-bromo-2,6-dimethylphenyl)acetate (CAS 186748-52-7) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C11H13BrO2 and a molecular weight of 257.12 g/mol.

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

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.
