5-Chloro-3-(difluoromethoxy)benzofuran-2-carboxylic acid (CAS 1707391-73-8), molecular formula C10H5ClF2O4 and molecular weight 262.59 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
The molecular framework of 5-Chloro-3-(difluoromethoxy)benzofuran-2-carboxylic acid (C10H5ClF2O4) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring 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. 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).
