4-(Benzyloxy)-3-bromo-5-methoxybenzaldehyde (CAS 2556-04-9) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C15H13BrO3 and a molecular weight of 321.17 g/mol.
4-(Benzyloxy)-3-bromo-5-methoxybenzaldehyde (C15H13BrO3) 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. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.
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.
