Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 321.17 g/mol gives Methyl 4-[(4-bromophenyl)methoxy]benzoate distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
Methyl 4-[(4-bromophenyl)methoxy]benzoate (CAS 62290-47-5), molecular formula C15H13BrO3 and molecular weight 321.17 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system, Methyl 4-[(4-bromophenyl)methoxy]benzoate is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 321.17 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).
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 4-[(4-bromophenyl)methoxy]benzoate 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.
