Chemical Structure

Methyl 2-(benzyloxy)-3-bromo-5-methylbenzoate CAS 2432848-62-7 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies Methyl 2-(benzyloxy)-3-bromo-5-methylbenzoate (CAS 2432848-62-7), a certified reference material (molecular formula C16H15BrO3, MW 335.19 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Methyl 2-(benzyloxy)-3-bromo-5-methylbenzoate (C16H15BrO3) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic 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.

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

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.
