5,7-Dichloro-2-(3,4-dichlorobenzoyl)-3-methyl-1-benzofuran CAS 306979-03-3 chemical structure

Description

As a certified reference material (CRM), 5,7-Dichloro-2-(3,4-dichlorobenzoyl)-3-methyl-1-benzofuran meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.

5,7-Dichloro-2-(3,4-dichlorobenzoyl)-3-methyl-1-benzofuran (CAS 306979-03-3), molecular formula C16H8Cl4O2 and molecular weight 374.05 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system, 5,7-Dichloro-2-(3,4-dichlorobenzoyl)-3-methyl-1-benzofuran is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 374.05 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.

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.
