Chemical Structure

5-Bromo-2-methoxy-4-methylbenzenesulfonic acid CAS 223438-71-9 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies 5-Bromo-2-methoxy-4-methylbenzenesulfonic acid (CAS 223438-71-9), a certified reference material (molecular formula C8H9BrO4S, MW 281.12 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

5-Bromo-2-methoxy-4-methylbenzenesulfonic acid (C8H9BrO4S) contains a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system. It is notably hygroscopic, halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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.
