Chemical Structure

(5-chloro-6-methyl-benzofuran-3-yl)methanol CAS 2640065-62-7 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of (5-chloro-6-methyl-benzofuran-3-yl)methanol is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies (5-chloro-6-methyl-benzofuran-3-yl)methanol (CAS 2640065-62-7), a certified reference material (molecular formula C10H17ClO2, MW 204.69 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, (5-chloro-6-methyl-benzofuran-3-yl)methanol is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 204.69 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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.
