7-(3-Bromophenyl)-7-oxoheptanoic acid CAS 898787-89-8 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 7-(3-Bromophenyl)-7-oxoheptanoic acid.

7-(3-Bromophenyl)-7-oxoheptanoic acid (CAS 898787-89-8), molecular formula C13H15BrO3 and molecular weight 299.16 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

7-(3-Bromophenyl)-7-oxoheptanoic acid (C13H15BrO3) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system. It is notably hygroscopic, halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 7-(3-Bromophenyl)-7-oxoheptanoic acid 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.
