Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 341.58 g/mol gives 2-[(4-Bromobenzyl)oxy]-5-chlorobenzoic acid distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
CATO supplies 2-[(4-Bromobenzyl)oxy]-5-chlorobenzoic acid (CAS 938357-62-1), a certified reference material (molecular formula C14H10BrClO3, MW 341.58 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
2-[(4-Bromobenzyl)oxy]-5-chlorobenzoic acid (C14H10BrClO3) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine/bromine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic 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. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).
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 manufactures 2-[(4-Bromobenzyl)oxy]-5-chlorobenzoic acid under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
