Chemical Structure

3-Acetyl-5-bromobenzoic acid methyl ester CAS 444992-78-3 chemical structure

Description

3-Acetyl-5-bromobenzoic acid methyl ester (C10H9BrO3) 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, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

3-Acetyl-5-bromobenzoic acid methyl ester (CAS 444992-78-3) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C10H9BrO3 and a molecular weight of 257.08 g/mol.

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.
