Chemical Structure

5-Bromo-2-fluoro-4-methoxybenzoic acid CAS 949014-42-0 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.

5-Bromo-2-fluoro-4-methoxybenzoic acid (CAS 949014-42-0), molecular formula C8H6BrFO3 and molecular weight 249.03 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

5-Bromo-2-fluoro-4-methoxybenzoic acid (C8H6BrFO3) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system. It is notably hygroscopic, halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, 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).

As a certified reference material (CRM), 5-Bromo-2-fluoro-4-methoxybenzoic 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.
