Chemical Structure

methyl 5-(bromomethyl)-2-methoxybenzoate CAS 98165-65-2 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 265.14 g/mol gives methyl 5-(bromomethyl)-2-methoxybenzoate distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

methyl 5-(bromomethyl)-2-methoxybenzoate (CAS 98165-65-2), molecular formula C10H17BrO3 and molecular weight 265.14 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, methyl 5-(bromomethyl)-2-methoxybenzoate is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 265.14 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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.

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.
