The occurrence of 7-bromo-benzo[1,3]dioxole-5-carbaldehyde is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
7-bromo-benzo[1,3]dioxole-5-carbaldehyde (CAS 19522-96-4), molecular formula C8H11BrO3 and molecular weight 235.08 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, 7-bromo-benzo[1,3]dioxole-5-carbaldehyde is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 235.08 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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.
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.
