Chemical Structure

7-Bromo-5-methylbenzofuran-2-carboxylic acid CAS 35700-47-1 chemical structure

Description

As a certified reference material (CRM), 7-Bromo-5-methylbenzofuran-2-carboxylic acid 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.

7-Bromo-5-methylbenzofuran-2-carboxylic acid (CAS 35700-47-1), molecular formula C10H7BrO3 and molecular weight 255.06 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 7-Bromo-5-methylbenzofuran-2-carboxylic acid is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 255.06 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
