Chemical Structure

Ethyl 6-bromo-3-nitrobenzofuran-2-carboxylate CAS 1956341-75-5 chemical structure

Description

The molecular framework of Ethyl 6-bromo-3-nitrobenzofuran-2-carboxylate (C11H8BrNO5) is characterized by a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the protonation state of its nitrogen-containing groups, 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).

Ethyl 6-bromo-3-nitrobenzofuran-2-carboxylate (CAS 1956341-75-5) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C11H8BrNO5 and a molecular weight of 314.09 g/mol.

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.
