Chemical Structure

2-Iododibenzo[b,d]furan CAS 5408-56-0 chemical structure

Description

Owing to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, iodine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 2-Iododibenzo[b,d]furan is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 294.09 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).

CATO supplies 2-Iododibenzo[b,d]furan (CAS 5408-56-0), a certified reference material (molecular formula C12H7IO, MW 294.09 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

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.

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.
