Chemical Structure

Ethyl 2,3-dibromo-3-phenylpropionate CAS 5464-70-0 chemical structure

Description

Ethyl 2,3-dibromo-3-phenylpropionate (CAS 5464-70-0) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C11H12Br2O2 and a molecular weight of 336.02 g/mol.

Ethyl 2,3-dibromo-3-phenylpropionate (C11H12Br2O2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system. 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.

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 Ethyl 2,3-dibromo-3-phenylpropionate 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.
