The occurrence of 5-Bromo-3-bromomethyl-benzofuran-2-carboxylic acid ethyl ester is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
CATO supplies 5-Bromo-3-bromomethyl-benzofuran-2-carboxylic acid ethyl ester (CAS 565192-82-7), a certified reference material (molecular formula C12H10Br2O3, MW 362.01 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
Structurally, 5-Bromo-3-bromomethyl-benzofuran-2-carboxylic acid ethyl ester (C12H10Br2O3) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 7.0, corresponding to approximately 7 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 362.01 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-molecular-weight range. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.
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.
