Chemical Structure

4-Ethylphenyl 2-(4-bromo-2-methylphenoxy)acetate CAS 496033-85-3 chemical structure

Description

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.

CATO supplies 4-Ethylphenyl 2-(4-bromo-2-methylphenoxy)acetate (CAS 496033-85-3), a certified reference material (molecular formula C17H17BrO3, MW 349.22 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Structurally, 4-Ethylphenyl 2-(4-bromo-2-methylphenoxy)acetate (C17H17BrO3) contains a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 9.0, corresponding to approximately 9 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 349.22 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-molecular-weight range. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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.
