Description
Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
Ethyl 4-(4-bromophenyl)-2,4-dioxobutanoate (CAS 40155-54-2), molecular formula C12H11BrO4 and molecular weight 299.12 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
The molecular framework of Ethyl 4-(4-bromophenyl)-2,4-dioxobutanoate (C12H11BrO4) 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).
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.
