Chemical Structure

tert-Butyl 2-(4-(Bromomethyl)phenyl)acetate CAS 77292-91-2 chemical structure

Description

tert-Butyl 2-(4-(Bromomethyl)phenyl)acetate (CAS 77292-91-2), molecular formula C13H23BrO2 and molecular weight 291.22 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Based on its molecular formula C13H23BrO2, tert-Butyl 2-(4-(Bromomethyl)phenyl)acetate contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution; these features give the compound characteristic functional-group stretching vibrations in infrared spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 291.22 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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), tert-Butyl 2-(4-(Bromomethyl)phenyl)acetate 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.
