Chemical Structure

3-(2-Iodophenyl)benzofuran CAS 452962-66-2 chemical structure

Description

3-(2-Iodophenyl)benzofuran (CAS 452962-66-2) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C14H9IO and a molecular weight of 320.13 g/mol.

The molecular framework of 3-(2-Iodophenyl)benzofuran (C14H9IO) is characterized by a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, iodine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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.

CATO manufactures 3-(2-Iodophenyl)benzofuran 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.
