Chemical Structure

5-Bromobenzo[b]furan-2-carbonyl chloride CAS 62878-96-0 chemical structure

Description

5-Bromobenzo[b]furan-2-carbonyl chloride (CAS 62878-96-0), molecular formula C9H4BrClO2 and molecular weight 259.48 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Based on its molecular formula C9H4BrClO2, 5-Bromobenzo[b]furan-2-carbonyl chloride contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine/bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 259.48 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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.
