Chemical Structure

(5-Chlorobenzofuran-2-yl)(p-tolyl)methanone CAS 220526-75-0 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including (5-Chlorobenzofuran-2-yl)(p-tolyl)methanone.

(5-Chlorobenzofuran-2-yl)(p-tolyl)methanone (CAS 220526-75-0), molecular formula C16H11ClO2 and molecular weight 270.71 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

(5-Chlorobenzofuran-2-yl)(p-tolyl)methanone (C16H11ClO2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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

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.
