Methyl 2-(bromomethyl)naphthalene-1-carboxylate CAS 2417-76-7 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 279.13 g/mol gives Methyl 2-(bromomethyl)naphthalene-1-carboxylate distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

Methyl 2-(bromomethyl)naphthalene-1-carboxylate (CAS 2417-76-7), molecular formula C13H11BrO2 and molecular weight 279.13 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Methyl 2-(bromomethyl)naphthalene-1-carboxylate (C13H11BrO2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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.
