Chemical Structure

1-(5-Bromo-7-ethylbenzofuran-2-yl)-2-chloroethanone CAS 18775-40-1 chemical structure

Description

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

1-(5-Bromo-7-ethylbenzofuran-2-yl)-2-chloroethanone (CAS 18775-40-1), molecular formula C12H10BrClO2 and molecular weight 301.56 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of 1-(5-Bromo-7-ethylbenzofuran-2-yl)-2-chloroethanone (C12H10BrClO2) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine/bromine 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 aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
