Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 242.11 g/mol gives N-(2-bromo-4-methylphenyl)propionamide distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
CATO supplies N-(2-bromo-4-methylphenyl)propionamide (CAS 5285-53-0), a certified reference material (molecular formula C10H12BrNO, MW 242.11 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, N-(2-bromo-4-methylphenyl)propionamide is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 242.11 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).
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 manufactures N-(2-bromo-4-methylphenyl)propionamide 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.
