Chemical Structure

4-(4-Bromo-phenoxy)-benzoic acid methyl ester CAS 21120-75-2 chemical structure

Description

The molecular framework of 4-(4-Bromo-phenoxy)-benzoic acid methyl ester (C14H11BrO3) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), 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.

4-(4-Bromo-phenoxy)-benzoic acid methyl ester (CAS 21120-75-2), molecular formula C14H11BrO3 and molecular weight 307.14 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
