(5,7-dichloro-3-methylbenzofuran-2-yl)(phenyl)methanone CAS 101081-68-9 chemical structure

Description

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

(5,7-dichloro-3-methylbenzofuran-2-yl)(phenyl)methanone (CAS 101081-68-9), molecular formula C16H10Cl2O2 and molecular weight 305.16 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system, (5,7-dichloro-3-methylbenzofuran-2-yl)(phenyl)methanone is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 305.16 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

CATO manufactures (5,7-dichloro-3-methylbenzofuran-2-yl)(phenyl)methanone 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.
