Chemical Structure

Methyl 5-Bromo-2,4-difluorobenzoate CAS 351325-31-0 chemical structure

Description

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.

Methyl 5-Bromo-2,4-difluorobenzoate (CAS 351325-31-0) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C8H5BrF2O2 and a molecular weight of 251.02 g/mol.

Methyl 5-Bromo-2,4-difluorobenzoate (C8H5BrF2O2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, 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.

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.
