Chemical Structure

3-Bromo-2-hydroxy-5-methylbenzaldehyde CAS 33172-54-2 chemical structure

Description

Structurally, 3-Bromo-2-hydroxy-5-methylbenzaldehyde (C8H7BrO2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 5.0, corresponding to approximately 5 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 215.04 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. 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).

3-Bromo-2-hydroxy-5-methylbenzaldehyde (CAS 33172-54-2), molecular formula C8H7BrO2 and molecular weight 215.04 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

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

As a certified reference material (CRM), 3-Bromo-2-hydroxy-5-methylbenzaldehyde meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
