2-(2-Bromo-4-ethylphenoxy)acetic acid (CAS 90841-60-4) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C10H11BrO3 and a molecular weight of 259.10 g/mol.
The molecular framework of 2-(2-Bromo-4-ethylphenoxy)acetic acid (C10H11BrO3) 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. 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).
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.
