Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 243.10 g/mol gives 2-Bromopropionic Acid Benzyl Ester distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
CATO supplies 2-Bromopropionic Acid Benzyl Ester (CAS 3017-53-6), a certified reference material (molecular formula C10H11BrO2, MW 243.10 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
The molecular framework of 2-Bromopropionic Acid Benzyl Ester (C10H11BrO2) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).
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.
CATO manufactures 2-Bromopropionic Acid Benzyl Ester under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
