Chemical Structure

Ethyl 2-Bromo-3-phenylpropionate CAS 39149-82-1 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies Ethyl 2-Bromo-3-phenylpropionate (CAS 39149-82-1), a certified reference material (molecular formula C11H13BrO2, MW 257.12 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Structurally, Ethyl 2-Bromo-3-phenylpropionate (C11H13BrO2) 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 257.12 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. 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.

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.
