Chemical Structure

6-Bromo-5-methoxy-2-methylbenzofuran-3-carboxylic acid CAS 299198-69-9 chemical structure

Description

6-Bromo-5-methoxy-2-methylbenzofuran-3-carboxylic acid (C11H9BrO4) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system. It is notably hygroscopic, 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 aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

6-Bromo-5-methoxy-2-methylbenzofuran-3-carboxylic acid (CAS 299198-69-9) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C11H9BrO4 and a molecular weight of 285.09 g/mol.

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.
