Chemical Structure

4-Fluorobenzofuran CAS 24410-58-0 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 136.12 g/mol gives 4-Fluorobenzofuran distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies 4-Fluorobenzofuran (CAS 24410-58-0), a certified reference material (molecular formula C8H5FO, MW 136.12 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Based on its molecular formula C8H5FO, 4-Fluorobenzofuran contains a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 136.12 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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.

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.
