Chemical Structure

4-Bromo-5-chlorofuran-2-carbonitrile CAS 31491-39-1 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 206.42 g/mol gives 4-Bromo-5-chlorofuran-2-carbonitrile distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

4-Bromo-5-chlorofuran-2-carbonitrile (CAS 31491-39-1), molecular formula C5HBrClNO and molecular weight 206.42 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

4-Bromo-5-chlorofuran-2-carbonitrile (C5HBrClNO) contains an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine/bromine substitution. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

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.
