Chemical Structure

Methyl 3-bromo-5-(trifluoromethyl)benzoate CAS 187331-46-0 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-5-(trifluoromethyl)benzoate.

Methyl 3-bromo-5-(trifluoromethyl)benzoate (CAS 187331-46-0), molecular formula C9H6BrF3O2 and molecular weight 283.04 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of Methyl 3-bromo-5-(trifluoromethyl)benzoate (C9H6BrF3O2) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/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. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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

As a certified reference material (CRM), Methyl 3-bromo-5-(trifluoromethyl)benzoate 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.
