Chemical Structure

1-(5-Bromobenzofuran-2-yl)ethanone CAS 38220-75-6 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 239.07 g/mol gives 1-(5-Bromobenzofuran-2-yl)ethanone distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

1-(5-Bromobenzofuran-2-yl)ethanone (CAS 38220-75-6), molecular formula C10H7BrO2 and molecular weight 239.07 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

1-(5-Bromobenzofuran-2-yl)ethanone (C10H7BrO2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system. 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 high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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.

CATO manufactures 1-(5-Bromobenzofuran-2-yl)ethanone under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
