Chemical Structure

2-Bromobenzyl benzoate CAS 67460-09-7 chemical structure

Description

2-Bromobenzyl benzoate (CAS 67460-09-7), molecular formula C14H11BrO2 and molecular weight 291.14 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, 2-Bromobenzyl benzoate (C14H11BrO2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 9.0, corresponding to approximately 9 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 291.14 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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.
