Chemical Structure

Methyl 3-bromo-5-fluoro-2-hydroxybenzoate CAS 4068-73-9 chemical structure

Description

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

CATO supplies Methyl 3-bromo-5-fluoro-2-hydroxybenzoate (CAS 4068-73-9), a certified reference material (molecular formula C8H6BrFO3, MW 249.03 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Based on its molecular formula C8H6BrFO3, Methyl 3-bromo-5-fluoro-2-hydroxybenzoate contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 249.03 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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).

CATO manufactures Methyl 3-bromo-5-fluoro-2-hydroxybenzoate under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
