(4-(Benzyloxy)-3-bromo-5-ethoxyphenyl)methanol (CAS 898693-57-7) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C16H17BrO3 and a molecular weight of 337.21 g/mol.
The molecular framework of (4-(Benzyloxy)-3-bromo-5-ethoxyphenyl)methanol (C16H17BrO3) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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.
