Chemical Structure

2-Bromo-1-(2-fluoro-3-hydroxyphenyl)ethan-1-one CAS CATO-C3D-262737 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies 2-Bromo-1-(2-fluoro-3-hydroxyphenyl)ethan-1-one (CAS CATO-C3D-262737), a certified reference material (molecular formula C8H6BrFO2, MW 233.03 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 2-Bromo-1-(2-fluoro-3-hydroxyphenyl)ethan-1-one is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 233.03 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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.
