Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 337.18 g/mol gives 4-Bromo-2-fluoro-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)propiophenone distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
4-Bromo-2-fluoro-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)propiophenone (CAS 898776-10-8) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C16H14BrFO2 and a molecular weight of 337.18 g/mol.
Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/bromine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system, 4-Bromo-2-fluoro-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)propiophenone is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 337.18 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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).
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.
