Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 273.12 g/mol gives Methyl 3-(3-bromo-4-methoxyphenyl)propanoate distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
CATO supplies Methyl 3-(3-bromo-4-methoxyphenyl)propanoate (CAS 288310-70-3), a certified reference material (molecular formula C11H13BrO3, MW 273.12 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
Methyl 3-(3-bromo-4-methoxyphenyl)propanoate (C11H13BrO3) contains 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, 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 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.
