Chemical Structure

3-Bromo-2-nitrophenol CAS 76361-99-4 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies 3-Bromo-2-nitrophenol (CAS 76361-99-4), a certified reference material (molecular formula C6H4BrNO3, MW 218.00 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

3-Bromo-2-nitrophenol (C6H4BrNO3) contains an amide group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system. It is notably hygroscopic, halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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), 3-Bromo-2-nitrophenol 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.
