Chemical Structure

2-Bromo-3-nitrobenzoic Acid CAS 573-54-6 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 2-Bromo-3-nitrobenzoic Acid is closely related to an amide group, 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.

2-Bromo-3-nitrobenzoic Acid (CAS 573-54-6), molecular formula C7H4BrNO4 and molecular weight 246.01 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

2-Bromo-3-nitrobenzoic Acid (C7H4BrNO4) contains an amide group, 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, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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 2-Bromo-3-nitrobenzoic Acid 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.
