Chemical Structure

Ethyl 4-(2-bromophenyl)-4-oxobutanoate CAS 898751-18-3 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Ethyl 4-(2-bromophenyl)-4-oxobutanoate 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 Ethyl 4-(2-bromophenyl)-4-oxobutanoate (CAS 898751-18-3), a certified reference material (molecular formula C12H13BrO3, MW 285.13 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

The molecular framework of Ethyl 4-(2-bromophenyl)-4-oxobutanoate (C12H13BrO3) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, an aromatic ring 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.

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Ethyl 4-(2-bromophenyl)-4-oxobutanoate 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.
