Chemical Structure

Methyl 2-bromo-3-(4-bromo-phenyl)-propionate CAS 219554-66-2 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Methyl 2-bromo-3-(4-bromo-phenyl)-propionate is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

Methyl 2-bromo-3-(4-bromo-phenyl)-propionate (CAS 219554-66-2), molecular formula C10H10Br2O2 and molecular weight 321.99 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, Methyl 2-bromo-3-(4-bromo-phenyl)-propionate (C10H10Br2O2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 5.0, corresponding to approximately 5 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 321.99 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-molecular-weight range. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

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.
