Chemical Structure

Methyl 5-(bromomethyl)-2-fluorophenylacetate CAS 677775-73-4 chemical structure

Description

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

Methyl 5-(bromomethyl)-2-fluorophenylacetate (CAS 677775-73-4) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C10H10BrFO2 and a molecular weight of 261.09 g/mol.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system, Methyl 5-(bromomethyl)-2-fluorophenylacetate is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 261.09 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).

As a certified reference material (CRM), Methyl 5-(bromomethyl)-2-fluorophenylacetate 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.
