7-Bromobenzoxazol-2(3H)-one (CAS 871367-14-5), molecular formula C7H4BrNO2 and molecular weight 214.02 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Based on its molecular formula C7H4BrNO2, 7-Bromobenzoxazol-2(3H)-one contains an amide group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 214.02 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.
The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
