Chemical Structure

Methyl 3,5-dibromo-2,4-dihydroxybenzoate CAS 885279-78-7 chemical structure

Description

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.

Methyl 3,5-dibromo-2,4-dihydroxybenzoate (CAS 885279-78-7), molecular formula C8H6Br2O4 and molecular weight 325.94 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, Methyl 3,5-dibromo-2,4-dihydroxybenzoate (C8H6Br2O4) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 5.0, corresponding to approximately 5 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 325.94 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-molecular-weight range. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

As a certified reference material (CRM), Methyl 3,5-dibromo-2,4-dihydroxybenzoate 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.
