Chemical Structure

(E)-3-(2-Bromophenyl)acrylic acid CAS 7345-79-1 chemical structure

Description

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system, (E)-3-(2-Bromophenyl)acrylic acid is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 227.05 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

(E)-3-(2-Bromophenyl)acrylic acid (CAS 7345-79-1) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C9H7BrO2 and a molecular weight of 227.05 g/mol.

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), (E)-3-(2-Bromophenyl)acrylic acid 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.
