Chemical Structure

Methyl 2-bromo-3-(2-chlorophenyl)propanoate CAS 74124-85-9 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 277.54 g/mol gives Methyl 2-bromo-3-(2-chlorophenyl)propanoate distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

Methyl 2-bromo-3-(2-chlorophenyl)propanoate (CAS 74124-85-9) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C10H10BrClO2 and a molecular weight of 277.54 g/mol.

Structurally, Methyl 2-bromo-3-(2-chlorophenyl)propanoate (C10H10BrClO2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine/bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 5.0, corresponding to approximately 5 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 277.54 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Methyl 2-bromo-3-(2-chlorophenyl)propanoate 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.
