Chemical Structure

3-Bromo-4-ethoxybenzophenone CAS 872279-52-2 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 305.17 g/mol gives 3-Bromo-4-ethoxybenzophenone distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

3-Bromo-4-ethoxybenzophenone (CAS 872279-52-2), molecular formula C15H13BrO2 and molecular weight 305.17 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system, 3-Bromo-4-ethoxybenzophenone is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 305.17 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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.

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.
