Chemical Structure

Methyl 5-bromo-2,3-dimethylbenzoate CAS 5613-28-5 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Methyl 5-bromo-2,3-dimethylbenzoate is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

Methyl 5-bromo-2,3-dimethylbenzoate (CAS 5613-28-5) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C10H11BrO2 and a molecular weight of 243.10 g/mol.

The molecular framework of Methyl 5-bromo-2,3-dimethylbenzoate (C10H11BrO2) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Methyl 5-bromo-2,3-dimethylbenzoate meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
