Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including Methyl 5-bromo-2-fluoro-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzoate.
Methyl 5-bromo-2-fluoro-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzoate (CAS 2007915-72-0), molecular formula C9H5BrF4O2 and molecular weight 301.03 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
The molecular framework of Methyl 5-bromo-2-fluoro-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzoate (C9H5BrF4O2) 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. 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), Methyl 5-bromo-2-fluoro-4-(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.
