Chemical Structure

Ethyl 5-bromo-2-(difluoromethyl)furan-3-carboxylate CAS 1706459-93-9 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 269.04 g/mol gives Ethyl 5-bromo-2-(difluoromethyl)furan-3-carboxylate distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

Ethyl 5-bromo-2-(difluoromethyl)furan-3-carboxylate (CAS 1706459-93-9) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C8H7BrF2O3 and a molecular weight of 269.04 g/mol.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system, Ethyl 5-bromo-2-(difluoromethyl)furan-3-carboxylate is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 269.04 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Ethyl 5-bromo-2-(difluoromethyl)furan-3-carboxylate 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.
