Chemical Structure

3-(4-Bromophenyl)-2-oxopropanoic acid CAS 38712-59-3 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 3-(4-Bromophenyl)-2-oxopropanoic acid.

CATO supplies 3-(4-Bromophenyl)-2-oxopropanoic acid (CAS 38712-59-3), a certified reference material (molecular formula C9H7BrO3, MW 243.05 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

The molecular framework of 3-(4-Bromophenyl)-2-oxopropanoic acid (C9H7BrO3) 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 the polarity and ionization state of its functional groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 3-(4-Bromophenyl)-2-oxopropanoic acid 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.
