Chemical Structure

Methyl 5-bromo-2-hydroxy-3-nitrobenzoate CAS 91983-31-2 chemical structure

Description

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.

CATO supplies Methyl 5-bromo-2-hydroxy-3-nitrobenzoate (CAS 91983-31-2), a certified reference material (molecular formula C8H6BrNO5, MW 276.04 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Structurally, Methyl 5-bromo-2-hydroxy-3-nitrobenzoate (C8H6BrNO5) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 6.0, corresponding to approximately 6 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 276.04 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

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.
