Methyl 2-bromo-3-(4-chlorophenyl)propanoate (CAS 7141-89-1) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C10H10BrClO2 and a molecular weight of 277.54 g/mol.
Methyl 2-bromo-3-(4-chlorophenyl)propanoate (C10H10BrClO2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine/bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.
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 Methyl 2-bromo-3-(4-chlorophenyl)propanoate 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.
