Chemical Structure

Methyl 5-bromo-2-hydroxy-3-methylbenzoate CAS 40912-71-8 chemical structure

Description

Methyl 5-bromo-2-hydroxy-3-methylbenzoate (C9H9BrO3) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system. It is notably hygroscopic, 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. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).
