Chemical Structure

3-Bromo-4-chloro-benzoic acid ethyl ester CAS 76008-75-8 chemical structure

Description

3-Bromo-4-chloro-benzoic acid ethyl ester (CAS 76008-75-8) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C9H8BrClO2 and a molecular weight of 263.52 g/mol.

The molecular framework of 3-Bromo-4-chloro-benzoic acid ethyl ester (C9H8BrClO2) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine/bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the polarity and ionization state of its functional groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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

As a certified reference material (CRM), 3-Bromo-4-chloro-benzoic acid ethyl ester 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.
