The occurrence of Methyl 4-Bromo-2-(bromomethyl)benzoate is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
CATO supplies Methyl 4-Bromo-2-(bromomethyl)benzoate (CAS 78471-43-9), a certified reference material (molecular formula C9H8Br2O2, MW 307.97 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
Methyl 4-Bromo-2-(bromomethyl)benzoate (C9H8Br2O2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system. 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. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).
