Chemical Structure

5-Bromo-2-(4-chlorophenyl)benzofuran CAS 1374787-40-2 chemical structure

Description

The molecular framework of 5-Bromo-2-(4-chlorophenyl)benzofuran (C14H8BrClO) is characterized by a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine/bromine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

5-Bromo-2-(4-chlorophenyl)benzofuran (CAS 1374787-40-2), molecular formula C14H8BrClO and molecular weight 307.57 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

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

As a certified reference material (CRM), 5-Bromo-2-(4-chlorophenyl)benzofuran 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.
