Chemical Structure

5-Chloro-2-(trifluoromethyl)benzofuran CAS 1067238-68-9 chemical structure

Description

Based on its molecular formula C9H4ClF3O, 5-Chloro-2-(trifluoromethyl)benzofuran contains a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 220.58 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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).
