The occurrence of 4-Bromophenyl 2-(4-fluorophenoxy)propanoate is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/bromine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
CATO supplies 4-Bromophenyl 2-(4-fluorophenoxy)propanoate (CAS 618073-06-6), a certified reference material (molecular formula C15H12BrFO3, MW 339.16 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/bromine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system, 4-Bromophenyl 2-(4-fluorophenoxy)propanoate is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 339.16 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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).
Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
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.
