Chemical Structure

4-Bromo-6-chlorobenzofuran CAS 1427377-74-9 chemical structure

Description

As a certified reference material (CRM), 4-Bromo-6-chlorobenzofuran 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.

4-Bromo-6-chlorobenzofuran (CAS 1427377-74-9) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C8H4BrClO and a molecular weight of 231.47 g/mol.

The molecular framework of 4-Bromo-6-chlorobenzofuran (C8H4BrClO) is characterized by a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine/bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the polarity and ionization state of its functional groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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.
