Chemical Structure

5-Chloro-3-(difluoromethoxy)benzofuran-2-carboxylic acid CAS 1707391-73-8 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 262.59 g/mol gives 5-Chloro-3-(difluoromethoxy)benzofuran-2-carboxylic acid distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

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).

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

CATO manufactures 5-Chloro-3-(difluoromethoxy)benzofuran-2-carboxylic acid under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
